Upcoming Events
Multiple updates from the Linux Plumbers Conference
Registration has opened
for the 2015 Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), which will be held August 19-21 in
Seattle. In addition, two more microconferences and a Development
Tools tutorial track have been accepted into LPC. The Containers
microconference will discuss topics such as "container device
isolation, live migration, security features such as user namespaces, and
the dueling-systemd challenges stemming from running systemd both within
containers and on the host OS
". The Android/Mobile
microconference will look at a wide variety of topics of interest in
the mobile and Android worlds: "There are a number of mobile/embedded environments based on the Linux kernel, the most prominent of course being Android. One consequence of this prominence is a variety of projects derived from Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which raises the question of how best to manage them, and additionally if it is possible to run a single binary image of the various software components across a variety of devices. In addition, although good progress has been made upstreaming various Android patches, there is more work to be done for ADF, KMS, and Sync, among others.
