2009 Linux Plumbers Conference Update

Hello!

The June 15th deadline for abstract submission is rapidly approaching!
Please submit your abstracts at the Linux Plumbers Conference proposals
web site (http://linuxplumbersconf.org/ocw/events/2009/proposals/).

We now have runners for additional tracks:

   1. Inter-Distributor Cooperation: James Bottomley
   2. Kernel/Userspace/User Interfaces: Jim Gettys
   3. Networking: Steve Hemminger
   4. Storage: Matthew Wilcox 

In addition, we of course have the runners announced earlier:

   1. Security: James Morris and Paul Moore
   2. Boot and Init: Dave Jones
   3. X Window System: Keith Packard
   4. Embedded Systems: Greg Kroah-Hartman and David Woodhouse
   5. Audio: Lennart Poettering 

Other topics are of course welcome in the General track. The perfect
Plumbers topic would feature a real problem whose solution requires the
relevant community members to get together face to face, preferably
producing a solution during the conference itself. This of course
requires buy-in from maintainers and other high-profile people active in
the area.

We have an exciting program shaping up! Tutorials include an advanced
git tutorial from Linus Torvalds. Keynotes include Vivek Kundra, Federal
CIO, live via video with real time Q&A (invitee, to be confirmed), and
Keith Packard, Intel, X Window guru.

So, to be part of the excitement, please submit your abstracts by Monday
June 15th!!!  http://linuxplumbersconf.org/ocw/events/2009/proposals/

							Thanx, Paul
