Linux Plumbers Conference General Registration Reopened

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 …

Preliminary Dates and Location for LPC2023

The 2023 LPC PC is pleased to announce that we’ve begun exclusive negotiations with the Omni Hotel in Richmond, VA to host Plumbers 2023 from 13-15 November. Note: These dates are not yet final (nor is the location; we have had one failure at this stage of negotiations from all the Plumbers venues we’ve chosen). […]

LPC 2022 Open for Last-Minute On-Site Registrations

Against all expectations, we have now worked through the entire waitlist, courtesy of some last-minute cancellations due to late-breaking corporate travel restrictions. We are therefore re-opening general registration. So if you can somehow arrange to be in Dublin on September 12-14 at this late date, please register. Virtual registration never has closed, and is still […]

Registration Currently Sold Out, We’re Trying to Add More Places

Back in 2021 when we were planning this conference, everyone warned us that we’d still be doing social distancing and that in-person conferences were likely not to be as popular as they had been, so we lowered our headcount to fit within a socially distanced venue.   Unfortunately the enthusiasm of the plumbers community didn’t follow […]

Registration for Linux Plumbers Conference is now open

We hope very much to see you in Dublin in September (12-14th). Please visit our attend page for all the details.

Dates for Virtual Linux Plumbers now 20-24 September

We took a look at all the events that were announced at the same time as OSS, including KVM Forum. The dates 20-24 September still seem to be clear of conference overlaps so we thought we’d grab them for Plumbers before someone else does. We also thought the timezone last year (Atlantic, 1h ahead of […]

Linux Plumbers Goes Fully Virtual

You may have noticed that the Linux Foundation has announced moving OSS+ELC from Dublin to Seattle, WA due to survey results and vaccination rates in Europe. Since we agreed to co-locate with OSS+ELC this year, we’ve been debating following suit or going virtual. Unfortunately, the safety protocols imposed by event venues in the US require […]

Welcome to the 2021 Linux Plumbers Conference

Planning for the 2021 Linux Plumbers Conference is well underway. The hope is to be in Dublin co-located with OSS EU (although with hopefully non-overlapping dates). However, the Linux Foundation is still negotiating for a suitable venue so we can’t fully confirm the location yet. There is an outside (and hopefully receding) chance that we […]
