2009 Linux Plumbers Conference Deadline Extension

Hello!

We have received a large number of excellent submissions for the
Linux Plumbers Conference, thank you very much to all who submitted!
In response to a number of people who requested a bit more time, we
have extended the deadline an additional week to June 22nd.  However,
this new deadline is final.  Any abstracts submitted after June 22nd
will therefore be cheerfully ignored.

But in the meantime, please feel free to continue to submit your
abstracts at the Linux Plumbers Conference proposals web site
(http://linuxplumbersconf.org/ocw/events/2009/proposals/).

We have the following tracks ready and waiting to receive your
submissions:

   1. Audio: Lennart Poettering 
   2. Boot and Init: Dave Jones
   3. Embedded Systems: Greg Kroah-Hartman and David Woodhouse
   4. Energy Efficiency, Performance, and Power Management
   5. Inter-Distributor Cooperation: James Bottomley
   6. Kernel/Userspace/User Interfaces: Jim Gettys
   7. Networking: Steve Hemminger
   8. Security: James Morris and Paul Moore
   9. Storage: Matthew Wilcox 
  10. Video Input Infrastructure
  11. X Window System: Keith Packard

Other topics are of course welcome in the General track. The perfect
Plumbers topic would feature a real problem whose solution requires the
relevant community members to get together face to face, preferably
producing a solution during the conference itself.  This of course
requires buy-in from maintainers and other high-profile people active in
the area.

We have an exciting program shaping up! Tutorials include an advanced
git tutorial from Linus Torvalds. Keynotes include Vivek Kundra, Federal
CIO, live via video with real time Q&A (invitee, to be confirmed), and
Keith Packard, Intel, X Window guru.

So, to be part of the excitement, please submit your abstracts by Monday
June 22nd!!!  http://linuxplumbersconf.org/ocw/events/2009/proposals/

							Thanx, Paul
