Santa Fe is at an altitude of 7,200 feet (2,200m). There are a few things that attendees who are not used to higher altitudes may want to bear in mind: Give yourself some time to acclimate — take it easy the first 24-48 hours of your trip and plan quieter activities before going all out […]
The last batch of registrations for the 2016 Linux Plumbers Conference will be available starting at noon Eastern Time (EDT) on October 1.

The Linux kernel community has been using Git for more than a decade, but it is still under active development, with more than 2,000 non-merge commits from almost 200 contributors over the past year. Rather than review this extensive history, this Micro Git Together instead focuses on what the next few years might bring. In […]
LPC registration will open up on September 8 at noon Eastern Time (EDT) with a very limited number of slots available. Those interested in attending the conference who have not yet registered will want to visit the registration web site after that time. There will also be a very limited number of late registrations that […]
Audio is an increasingly important component of the Linux plumbing, given increased use of Linux for media workloads and of the Linux kernel for smartphones. Topics include low-latency audio, use of the clock API, propagating digital configuration through dynamic audio power management (DAPM), integration of HDA and ASoC, SoundWire ALSA use-case managemer (UCM) scalability, standardizing […]
The deadline for submitting refereed track proposals for the 2016 Linux Plumbers Conference has been extended until September 8, 2016 at 11:59PM CET. The refereed track will have 50-minute presentations on a specific aspect of Linux “plumbing” (e.g. core libraries, media creation/playback, display managers, init systems, kernel APIs/ABIs, etc.) that are chosen by the LPC […]
All of the regular and early bird registrations for the 2016 Linux Plumbers Conference have now sold out. There will be a very limited number of late registrations available starting on October 1. Those interested in attending the conference should also note that each refereed track talk gets one free pass to the conference. The deadline […]
It has been more than a decade since CPU core clock frequencies stopped doubling every 18 months, which has shifted the search for performance from the “hardware free lunch” to concurrency and, more recently, hardware accelerators. Beyond accelerating computational offload, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and programmable logic devices (PLDs) have long been used in the […]
Although trusted platform modules (TPMs) have been the subject of some controversy over the years, it is quite likely that they have important roles to play in preventing firmware-based attacks, protecting user keys, and so on. However, some work is required to enable TPMs to successfully play these roles, including getting TPM support into bootloaders, […]
The refereed talk deadline for Linux Plumbers Conference is only a few weeks off, September 1, 2016 at 11:59PM CET. So there is still some time to get your proposals in, but time is growing short. Note that this year’s Plumbers is co-located with Linux Kernel Summit rather than LinuxCon, so the refereed track is […]
