Calls for Presentations
XDC 2019: submit your talks, workshops or demos
The X.Org Developer Conference will take place in Montréal, Canada on October 2-4. "While any serious proposal will be gratefully considered, topics of interest to X.Org and freedesktop.org developers are encouraged. The program focus is on new development, ongoing challenges and anything else that will spark discussions among attendees in the hallway track. We are open to talks across all layers of the graphics stack, from the kernel to desktop environments / graphical applications and about how to make things better for the developers who build them." The deadline for submissions is July 7.
linux.conf.au 2020 - Call for Sessions and Miniconfs
linux.conf.au will take place January 13-17 in Gold Coast, Australia. "Our theme for linux.conf.au 2020 is "Who's Watching", focusing on security, privacy and ethics. As big data and IoT-connected devices become more pervasive, it's no surprise that we're more concerned about privacy and security than ever before. We've set our sights on how open source could play a role in maximising security and protecting our privacy in times of uncertainty. With the concept of privacy continuing to blur, open source could be the solution to give us '2020 vision'." The call for participation is open until July 28.

Upcoming Events
Real-Time Microconference Accepted into 2019 Linux Plumbers Conference
There will be a Real-Time Microconference at LPC, which takes place September 9-11 in Lisbon, Portugal. "The PREEMPT_RT patch set (aka "The Real-Time Patch") was created in 2004 in the effort to make Linux into a hard real-time designed operating system. Over the years much of the RT patch has made it into mainline Linux, which includes: mutexes, lockdep, high-resolution timers, Ftrace, RCU_PREEMPT, priority inheritance, threaded interrupts and much more. There's just a little left to get RT fully into mainline, and the light at the end of the tunnel is finally in view. It is expected that the RT patch will be in mainline within a year, which changes the topics of discussion. Once it is in Linus's tree, a whole new set of issues must be handled."
Databases Microconference Accepted into 2019 Linux Plumbers Conference
The Databases Microconference at LPC is a chance for database developers to interact with system developers. "Linux plumbing is heavily important to those who implement databases and their users who expect fast and durable data handling."
Alpine Linux Persistence and Storage Summit
The Alpine Linux Persistence and Storage Summit (ALPSS) will be held October 1-4 at the Lizumerhuette in Tyrol, Austria. "The goal of this conference is to discuss the hot topics in Linux storage and file systems, such as persistent memory, NVMe, Zoned Block Device, and PCIe peer to peer transfers in a cool and relaxed setting with spectacular views in the Austrian alps."
