[Tech-board-discuss] Linux Plumbers 2016 Call for Organizers

[Tech-board-discuss] Linux Plumbers 2016 Call for Organizers

[Grant Likely]

Each year, the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board (TAB) seeks
an organizing committee for the annual Linux Plumbers Conference; that
process has now begun for the 2016 event.  This is your chance to put
your stamp on one of our community's most important gatherings in a
year when we will be celebrating 25 years of the Linux kernel.

In a change from recent years, the Linux Plumbers Conference will not
be colocated with a LinuxCon event; instead, it will be held alongside
the annual Kernel Summit in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. The timing of
the event is expected to be the week of October 31st to November 4th,
and we have selected a suitable venue.

Interested groups should have, at a minimum, an events coordinator, a
treasurer, a program committee chair and a chairperson.  This group
must be able to take the initiative to handle conference-specific
details (including social events, the miniconf program, and more)
while working with the Linux Foundation to ensure that logistics work
smoothly.

The process for putting in an application to run the Linux Plumbers
Conference is documented here:

           https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/en/LPC

Applications should be in by October 5th; the TAB then will announce a
decision by (at the latest) October 26th.

If you're interested in submitting a proposal, but are concerned that
you don't know enough about how previous Plumbers has been run, then
fear not! The TAB will support the selected organizing committee with
additional volunteers with past Plumbers organizing experience. Above
all we are looking for a capable and enthusiastic group who we can
work with to make the 2016 Linux Plumbers Conference a great success.

If you have any questions about the submission process, please email
the TAB at tech-board@lists.linux-foundation.org.

I will help out again for 2016. But probably not the droid you
are looking for to be the person-in-crosshairs.

I am also happy to help out as needed - specifically around pulling together 
file & storage people,
