Linux Plumbers Conference 2024 is pleased to host the Networking Track!
LPC Networking track is an in-person manifestation of the netdev mailing list, bringing together developers, users and vendors to discuss topics related to Linux networking. Relevant topics span from proposals for kernel changes, through user space tooling, netdev testing and CI, to presenting interesting use cases, new protocols or new, interesting problems waiting for a solution.
The goal is to allow gathering early feedback on proposals, reach consensus on long running mailing list discussions and raise awareness of interesting work and use cases.
After four years of co-locating BPF & Networking Tracks together this year we separated the two, again. Please submit to the track which feels suitable, the committee will transfer submissions between tracks as it deems necessary.
Please come and join us in the discussion. We hope to see you there!
Linux Plumbers Conference 2024 is pleased to host the eBPF Track!
After four years in a row of co-locating eBPF & Networking Tracks together, this year we separated the two in order to allow for both tracks to grow further individually as well as to bring more diversity into LPC by attracting more developers from each community.
The eBPF Track is going to bring together developers, maintainers, and other contributors from all around the globe to discuss improvements to the Linux kernel’s BPF subsystem and its surrounding user space ecosystem such as libraries, loaders, compiler backends, and other related low-level system tooling.
The gathering is designed to foster collaboration and face to face discussion of ongoing development topics as well as to encourage bringing new ideas into the development community for the advancement of the BPF subsystem.
Proposals can cover a wide range of topics related to BPF covering improvements in areas such as (but not limited to) BPF infrastructure and its use in tracing, security, networking, scheduling and beyond, as well as non-kernel components like libraries, compilers, testing infra and tools.
Please come and join us in the discussion. We hope to see you there!
Linux Plumbers Conference 2024 is pleased to host the Toolchains Track!
The aim of the Toolchains track is to fix particular toolchain issues which are of the interest of the kernel and, ideally, find solutions in situ, making the best use of the opportunity of live discussion with kernel developers and maintainers. In particular, this is not about presenting research nor abstract/miscellaneous toolchain work.
The track will be composed of activities, of variable length depending on the topic being discussed. Each activity is intended to cover a particular topic or issue involving both the Linux kernel and one or more of its associated toolchains and development tools. This includes compiling, linking, assemblers, debuggers and debugging formats, ABI analysis tools, object manipulation, etc. Few slides shall be necessary, and most of the time shall be devoted to actual discussion, brainstorming and seeking agreement.
Please come and join us in the discussion. We hope to see you there!
The Linux Plumbers Conference is proud to announce that it’s website for 2024 is up and the CFP has been issued. We will be running a hybrid conference as usual, but the in-person venue will be Vienna, Austria from 18-20 September. Deadlines to submit are 4 April for Microconferences and 16 June for Refereed and Kernel Summit track presentations. Details for other tracks and accepted Microconferences will be posted later.
The current plan is to be co-located in Vienna with OSS-EU. We don’t have exact dates to give (still finding conference space) but it will be three days on the week of 16 September.
As a reminder, The live stream of each main track of Linux Plumbers Conference will be available in real time on Youtube. The Links are now live in the timetable. To view, go to the Schedule Overview and click on the paperclip on the upper right of the track you want to watch to bring up the Live Stream URL.
Live Stream viewers may interact over chat by joining the Matrix Room of that event. To see all our Matrix rooms for Plumbers, go to the space #lpc2023:lpc.events in matrix. The room names should be pretty intuitive.
The URL for the training session we did on Thursday morning is:

Note that the URL skips to time index 37:55 which is where the training actually begins (the hackroom got started early).
We’ll be holding a BBB Training session on Thursday (8 November) at:
7am PST, 10am EST, 3pm UTC, 4pm CET, 8:30pm IST, 12am Friday JST
This will be recorded so that you can watch it later.
What is BBB? It’s an open source video software, similar to Zoom and Google Meets, but is much better for interactions between remote attendees and a live audience.
There are several features that BBB provides, and this training session will go over the common ones that you will likely use during your presentation.
This session is highly recommend for those that are presenting remotely, and may also be useful for those that are only attending remotely, to get a feel for the platform. In person attendees are welcome too, but we’ll have shepherds in the conference rooms on the day to help you out.
To join, you will need to log in to: https://meet.lpc.events
After logging in, to join the meeting, click the Hackroom entry in the leftnav then select the join button of Hackroom 1.
The schedule for when the miniconferences and tracks are going to occur is now posted at: https://lpc.events/event/17/timetable/#all
The Linux Plumbers Refereed track schedule is now available at: https://lpc.events/event/17/timetable/#all.detailed
The runners for the miniconferences and kernel summit will be adding more details to each of their schedules over the coming weeks, as will the leads for the networking and toolchain tracks.
For those that are registered as in person, you are free to continue to submit Birds of a Feather(BOF) sessions. They will be allocated space in the BOF rooms on a first come, first serve basis. Please note that these BOFs will not be recorded.
We’re looking forward to a great 3 days of presentations and discussions. We hope you can join us either in-person or virtually!
Now that the MC selection process is finished, we’ve recovered enough passes to reopen general registration. If you still wish to register, please go to our Attend page.
Hopefully we recovered enough passes to keep registration open for a couple of weeks, if not longer, but please don’t wait …
