http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2010/08/24/opening-keyno...

The Linux Plumbers Conference Program Committee is pleased to announce
that Jon Corbet will be our opening keynote speaker. Mr. Corbet is
well respected in our community as a kernel developer and the
co-founder and executive editor of Linux Weekly News.

We're also pleased to announce that speakers have been selected for
the presentation track. Click here for the full list of accepted
presentations[1]. We're very excited about this year's speaker line
up, and we're equally excited about the broad range of topics proposed
for the micro-conferences[2]. It is shaping up to be an interesting
and productive conference.

Early Registration Deadline and Micro-Conference topics
http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2010/08/20/early-registr...

Reminder: The early registration deadline is Tuesday August 31st[3].
Register before the deadline for the discounted $275 registration fee.
After the deadline the fee goes up to the standard rate of $325, and
then after October 11 up to $400 for late registration.

Linux Plumbers is now just over two months away, and the
micro-conference track leads are evaluating the submitted proposals to
make an initial selection of topics for each track.

However, there is still time to submit your topic proposals for the
micro-conferences[4]. While there is no hard deadline, proposals
submitted in the next week are far more likely to be selected by a
track lead. If there is a topic or issue you think needs to be
discussed at Plumbers this year, then submit a proposal for it now!

The Linux Plumbers Conference was created to bring together the key
developers involved in Linux plumbing - the "Linux plumbers" - and
give them an opportunity to discuss problems face-to-face, both within
subsystems and across subsystems. Participants include invited
attendees, speakers selected through an open, competitive review
process, and students. Registration is open to the general public as
well.

This year, Linux Plumbers Conference will take place in Cambridge, MA
on November 3-5, 2010.  More information can be found on the Linux
Plumbers website. [5]
