The Call for Papers for
the Linux Plumbers Conference
in September in Portland, Oregon has been extended until July 31st 2008. 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 and submit a paper!
Sign up soon! Send in your paper early! The conference is expected to sell out pretty quickly!
See you in Portland!
