The Planning Committee for the Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) is happy to announce that submissions to the “micro-conferences” portion of the conference is now open. The micro-conferences are working session focused on specific infrastructural “plumbing” in the Linux system – kernel subsystems, core libraries, windowing system, etc. — which are half-day in length.
The potential topics for the working sessions can be found at Topics Page on the LPC Wiki and include (but are not limited to):
- Power Management
- Virtualization
- Mono
- Desktop
- Tracing
- Real-time response for full FOSS/Linux stack
- User-visible Problems in Networking
- Media Infrastructure
- Audio
- HA Clustering
- Legal Hygiene
- Embedded Topics
- Boot/init
The topics that will actually have working sessions scheduled at the LPC will depend on the submissions to the microconference and on the ability of its respective community to organize a successful working session; see the “Responsibilities of a working session leader” page on the LPC wiki for more details.
Microconference submissions do not have to reflect finished work. In fact, proposals or proof-of-concepts of potential solutions to important problems are encouraged, so they can be discussed and debated during the microconference.
Proposals for presentations at a microconference may be submitted on this web site. In addition to the micro conference, the Linux Plumbers Conference has open calls for papers and BoFs.
