We are pleased to announce the Call for Microconferences for the 2017
edition of the Linux Plumbers Conference, which will be held in Los
Angeles, CA on 13-15 September co-located with the Linux Foundation
Open Source Summit.
A microconference is a collection of collaborative sessions focused on
problems in a particular area of the Linux plumbing, which includes the
kernel, libraries, utilities, UI, and so forth, but can also focus on
cross-cutting concerns such as security, scaling, energy efficiency, or
a particular use case. Good microconferences result in solutions to
these problems and concerns, while the best microconferences result in
patches that implement those solutions. For more information on
submitting a microconference proposal, see
https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2017/participate/#cfmc.
Of course, there is more to Plumbers than microconferences, so look for
upcoming calls for refereed-track presentations, BoFs, hackfests, and
lightning talks. We hope to see you in Los Angeles this September
