Live Stream URLs for Plumbers are now on the Website

2023-11-12 – 23:24

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.

BBB Training Session for Virtual Presenters and Attendees

2023-11-08 – 14:06

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.

LPC 2023 Schedule is now posted!

2023-10-13 – 03:29

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!

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

2023-09-03 – 10:00

Linux Plumbers is now sold out and in-person registration is closed.

This year it happened not as fast as in 2022, but the registration is still sold out long before the event.

We are setting up a waitlist for in-person registration (virtual attendee places are still available). Please fill in this form and try to be clear about your reasons for wanting to attend. This year we’re giving waitlist priority to new attendees and people expected to contribute content.

Containers and Checkpoint/Restore MC CFP

2023-09-03 – 09:26

The Containers and Checkpoint/Restore micro-conference focuses on both userspace and kernel related work. The micro-conference targets the wider container ecosystem ideally with participants from all major container runtimes as well as init system developers.

The microconference will be discussing recent advancements in container technologies with some of the usual candidates being:

  • CGroupV2 feature parity with CGroupV1
  • Emulation of various files and system calls through FUSE and/or Seccomp
  • Dealing with the eBPF-ification of the world
  • Making user namespaces more accessible
  • VFS idmap improvements

On the checkpoint/restore front, some of the potential topics include:

  • Restoring FUSE services
  • Handling GPUs
  • Dealing with restartable sequences

And quite likely a variety of other container and checkpoint/restore topics as things evolve between now and the event.

Past editions of this micro-conference have been the source of many developments in the Linux kernel, including:

Use LPC abstract submission page to submit your proposals and select “Containers and Checkpoint/Restart” track.

Power Management and Thermal Control MC CFP

2023-08-31 – 11:37

The Power Management and Thermal Control microconference focuses on power management and thermal control infrastructure, CPU and device power-management mechanisms, and thermal control methods.

In particular, we are interested in improving the thermal control infrastructure in the kernel to cover more use cases and utilizing energy-saving opportunities offered by modern hardware in new ways.

The goal is to facilitate cross-framework and cross-platform discussions that can help improve energy-awareness and thermal control in Linux.

The current list of topics proposed so far includes the following:

Confidential Computing MC CFP

2023-08-29 – 04:48

Confidential Computing is continuing to remain a popular topic in computing industry. From memory encryption to trusted I/O, hardware has been constantly improving and broadening. In the past years,  confidential computing microconferences have brought together developers working on various features in hypervisors, firmware, Linux kernel, low level userspace up to container runtimes. We have  discussed a broad range of topics, ranging from, hardware enablement to generic attestation workflows.

Just in the last year, we have seen support for Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP guests merged into Linux. Support for unaccepted memory has also landed in mainline. We have also had support for running as a CVM under Hyper-V partially merged into the kernel. However, there is still a long way to go before a complete Confidential Computing stack with open source software and Linux as the hypervisor becomes a reality. We invite contributions to this microconference to help make progress to that goal.

Topics of interest include

Please use the LPC CfP process to submit your proposals. Submissions can be made via the LPC abstract submission page. Make sure to select “Confidential Computing MC” as the track.

IoT MC CFP

2023-08-23 – 14:53

The IoT Microconference is a forum for developers to discuss all things IoT. Topics include tools, telemetry, device drivers, and protocols in not only the Linux kernel but also Real-Time Operating Systems such as Zephyr.

Since last year, there have been a number of new technical topics with significant updates.

  • Opportunities in IoT and Edge computing with the Linux /dev/accel API
  • Using the Thrift RPC framework between Linux and Zephyr
  • Zephyr’s new HTTP Server (a GSoC project)
  • Rust in the Zephyr RTOS: Benefits, Challenges and Missing Pieces
  • BeagleConnect Freedom Updates, Greybus, and the Linux Interface
  • Linux-wpan updates on 6lowpan, 802.15.4 PAN coordinators and UWB

Current Problems that require attention (stakeholders):

  • IEEE 802.15.4 SubGHz improvement areas in Zephyr, Linux (Florian Grandel, Stefan Schmidt, BeagleBoard.org)
  • WpanUSB upstreaming in the Linux kernel, potentially dropping Zephyr support (Andrei Emeltchenko, BeagleBoard.org)
  • IEEE 802.15.4 Linux subsystem device association handling (Miquel Raynal, Alexander Aring, Stefan Schmidt)
  • Zephyr potentially dropping Bluetooth IPSP?

On a slightly less technical topic.

  • Reflections after Two Years of Zephyr LTSv2

We are pleased to announce that the IoT Microconference is now accepting proposals!

If you are interested in presenting an IoT-related topic involving the Linux kernel, userspace tools, firmware, Zephyr, or frameworks, please upload your submission before September 15th.

Submissions can be made via the LPC Call for Proposals, by selecting Internet of Things MC for your track.
