Calls for Presentations
Linux Plumbers Conference 2019 Call for Refereed-Track Proposals
The Call for Refereed-Track talk proposals for LPC is open until May 22. LPC takes place September 9-11 in Lisbon, Portugal in conjunction with the invitation only Linux Kernel Maintainer Summit. "Refereed track presentations are 45 minutes in length (which includes time for questions and discussion) 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, container run-times, 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."
