Linux Plumbers Conference 2016 call for organizers
It's time to figure out who will be organizing the Linux Plumbers Conference in 2016, which is planned to be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the beginning of November, alongside the Kernel Summit. Interested organizers should put together a bid and submit it to the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board by October 5; see this page for details on how the process works. "This is your chance to put your stamp on one of our community's most important gatherings in a year when we will be celebrating 25 years of the Linux kernel."

FSFE Newsletter - September 2015
The September edition of the Free Software Foundation Europe newsletter covers the User Data Manifesto 2.0, compulsory routers, new German Coordinators, Fellowship interview with Neil McGovern, and several other topics.The Free Software Foundation: 30 years in (Opensource.com)
Jono Bacon interviews John Sullivan, executive director of the FSF, at Opensource.com. "What we have been focusing on now are the challenges I highlighted in the first question. We are in desperate need of hardware in several different areas that fully supports free software. We have been talking a lot at the FSF about what we can do to address this, and I expect us to be making some significant moves to both increase our support for some of the projects already out there—as we having been doing to some extent through our Respects Your Freedom certification program—and possibly to launch some projects of our own. The same goes for the network service problem. I think we need to tackle them together, because having full control over the mobile components has great potential for changing how we relate to services, and decentralizing more and more services will in turn shape the mobile components."
Calls for Presentations
Netdev 1.1 conference
Netdev 1.1 (year 1, conference 1) will take place February 10-12, 2016 in Seville, Spain. "Netdev 1.1 is a community-driven conference geared towards Linux netheads. Linux kernel networking and user space utilization of the interfaces to the Linux kernel networking subsystem are the focus. If you are using Linux as a boot system for proprietary networking, then this conference _may not be for you_." The call for proposals closes December 1.
