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! Thanx, Paul (Chair, LPC Program Committee)
