The Call for Papers for
the Linux Plumbers Conference
in September in Portland is out now. It’s a conference about the core
infrastructure of Linux systems: the part of the system where userspace and the
kernel interface. It’s the first conference where the focus is specifically on
getting together the kernel people who work on the userspace interfaces and the
userspace people who have to deal with kernel interfaces. It’s supposed to be a
place where all the people doing infrastructure work sit down and talk, so that
each other understands better what the requirements and needs of the other are,
and where we can work towards fixing the major problems we currently have with
our lower-level APIs.

I am running the Audio microconf of the Plumbers Conference. Audio
infrastructure on Linux is still heavily fragmented. Pro, desktop and embedded worlds are
almost completely seperate worlds. While we have quite good driver support the
user experience is far from perfect, mostly due because our infrastructure is
so balkanized. Join us at the Plumbers Conference and help to fix this! If you are doing audio infrastructure work on Linux, make sure to attend or — even better — submit a paper!

Sign up soon! Send in your paper early! The conference is expected to sell out pretty quickly!

See you in Portland!
