Hi everybody,
oh well, it sounds a bit awkward to be talking about any conference plans
for this year given how the corona things are untangling in the world, but
LPC planning committee has issued (a) statement about Covid-19 (b) call
for papers (as originally planned) nevertheless. Please see:
https://linuxplumbersconf.org/
https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/abstracts/
for details.
Under the asumption that this Covid nuisance is over by that time and
travel is possible (and safe) again -- do we want to eventually submit a
livepatching miniconf proposal again?
The conference is going to be an online event.
As for LPC mini-conf topics, I'd be interested in (at least):
- Petr's per-object livepatch POC
- klp-convert status
- objtool hacking
- Nicolai's klp-ccp status
- arch update (arm64, etc)
Hmm, all good points. Some conferences have gone virtual to cope with
necessary cancellations, but who knows what things will look like even
at the end of August. Perhaps we can still do something remotely if the
conditions dictate it. But my vote would be yes, and let's see what
topics interest folks.
It seems that there is interest into sharing/discussing some topics.
The question is whether is has to be under the LPC even umbrella.
Advantages of LPC:
+ well defined date
+ more attendees (ARM people, Steven Rostedt ;-)
+ access to some powerful video conference tool
+ access to another LPC content
+ support for the conference in the long term
Advantages of self-organized event:
+ less paperwork?
+ cheaper?
+ only interested people invited
+ date after summer holidays
+ more time for the discussion
As they are both online events,
I personally have no preference on this.
Thanks,
Alice
