Upcoming Events
Linux Plumbers Conference waiting list closed; just a few days until the conference
The Linux Plumbers Conference has filled up and has closed its waiting list. "All of the spots available have been allocated, so anyone who is not registered at this point will have to wait for next year. There will be no on-site registration. We regret that we could not accommodate everyone. The good news is that all of the microconferences, refereed talks, Kernel summit track, and Networking track will be recorded on video and made available as soon as possible after the conference. Anyone who could not make it to Lisbon this year will at least be able to catch up with what went on. Hopefully those who wanted to come will make it to a future LPC." LPC will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, September 9-11.

Event Reports
Padovan: Open Source in Brazil
Gustavo Padovan looks back on the Linux Developer Conference Brazil. "The 2019 edition happened on the first week of August in the city of São Paulo. It was a huge success. Over 3 days we had a total of 240 attendees. On the first day we had a few workshops on various themes. Some people compiled the Linux Kernel for the first time in their life and also managed to send out simple patches. One of the patches was accepted. In the two days that followed we had talks and networking moments."
