Linux Plumbers Conference call for refereed presentation proposals

The 2017 Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) has announced its call for refereed presentations. "Refereed Presentations are 45 minutes in length and should focus on a specific aspect of the 'plumbing' in the Linux system. Examples of Linux plumbing include core kernel subsystems, core libraries, windowing systems, management tools, device support, media creation/playback, and so on. The best presentations are not about finished work, but rather problems, proposals, or proof-of-concept solutions that require face-to-face discussions and debate." Proposals are due by May 6 and LPC will be held in Los Angeles, CA, US on September 13-15 in conjunction with The Linux Foundation Open Source Summit North America.
