The Call
for Papers for the Linux
Plumbers Conference (LPC) in November in Cambridge, Massachusetts is ending
soon, on July 19th 2010 (That’s the upcoming monday!). 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 only 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 both parties understand 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 infrastructure and APIs.

The two previous LPCs were hugely successful (as reported on LWN on various
occasions), and this time we hope to repeat that.

Like the previous years, I will be running the Audio conference track of
LPC, this time together with Mark Brown. Audio infrastructure on Linux has been
steadily improving the last years all over the place, but there’s still a lot
to do. Join us at the LPC to discuss the next steps and help improving Linux
audio further! If you are doing audio infrastructure work on Linux, make
sure to attend and submit a paper!

Sign up soon!
Send
in your paper quickly! Only three days left to the end of the
CFP!

(I am also planning to do a presentation there about systemd, together
with Kay. Make sure to attend if you are interested in that topic.)

See you in Boston!
