Linux Plumbers Conference 2019 Call for Microconference Proposals

Linux Plumbers Conference will take place September 9-11 in Lisbon, Portugal. The call for microconferences is open. "A microconference is a collection of collaborative sessions focused on problems in a particular area of the Linux plumbing, which includes the kernel, libraries, utilities, services, UI, and so forth, but can also focus on cross-cutting concerns such as security, scaling, energy efficiency, toolchains, container runtimes, or a particular use case. Good microconferences result in solutions to these problems and concerns, while the best microconferences result in patches that implement those solutions." The proposal deadline is May 22. More information on refereed-track proposals will be available soon.
