Linux Plumbers Conference Call for Microconference Proposals

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

We are pleased to announce the Call for Microconferences for the 2014
edition of the Linux Plumbers Conference, which will be held in Düsseldorf
Germany on October 15-17 in conjunction with LinuxCon (which takes
place on the first three days of that same week).

A microconference is a collection of collaborative sessions focused on
problems in a particular area of the Linux plumbing, which includes the
kernel, libraries, utilities, UI, and so forth, but can also focus on
cross-cutting concerns such as security, scaling, energy efficiency, and
so forth.  Good microconferences result in solutions to these problems
and concerns, while the very best microconferences of course result in
patches that implement those solutions.  Topics that require significant
slideware are probably better candidates for the refereed track than for
a microconference.  For more information on submitting a microconference
proposal, see http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2014/participate/#cfmc.

Of course, there is more to Plumbers than microconferences, so see the
call for refereed-track presentations (http://lwn.net/Articles/583226/),
as well as upcoming calls for BoFs, hackfests, and lightening talks.
We hope to see you in Düsseldorf this coming October!
