We had 185 responses to the Linux Plumbers survey in 2020, which, given the total number of conference registrants of 809, has provided confidence in the feedback. Given that the event was held virtually this year, it’s encouraging to see the community remaining engaged. So we are pleased to offer an especially heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who participated in this survey!

We are very pleased to announce that our final schedule is public!
Please take a look at all the great technical content at this year virtual LPC.
You can view the schedule by main blocks , or by track, or as a complete detailed view.
At this time we are closing the CfPs for all tracks. We have still room for a limited number of Birds of a Feather sessions. If you want to propose one, even during the conference, and the necessary participants are all registered, please send an email to our lpc-contact@lists.linuxplumbersconf.org mailing list.
A heartfelt Thank You to all our Speakers and Microconference Leaders, you all have done an incredible job in making this year’s conference successful, in spite of all the challenges that a remote and distributed conference entails.
See you virtually next week!

Hello there, thank you all for the very strong interest in LPC 2020!
We have sold out the last ticket today. We have a lot of attendees and speakers this year for our virtual conference! Almost 1000 registrations!
Do not despair though, because there will be the opportunity to watch the conference live streaming on YouTube. We are still sorting out our channels, but keep an eye on our blog and social media in the next couple of days, where we’ll announce how to watch live.
Thanks, and see you next week!

We have received several requests for T-shirts this year.
We have always produced T-shirts for attendees since the early days of LPC, and we don’t want to miss the opportunity to offer them this year too.
Since we are all remote, we have set up a LPC Gift Shop where you can order T-shirts in your favorite colors and sizes. We also have made the designs available if you want to print your own.
Enjoy!

After a careful review we have decided to release more passes. We are thrilled with the interest for this first ever online Linux Plumbers. The highlight of Linux Plumbers is the microconferences which are heavily focused on discussion and problem solving. To give the best experience for discussion, we have chosen to use an open source virtual platform that offers video for all participants. The platform recommends not having more than a certain number of people in each room at a time, hence putting a cap on registration to avoid hitting that limit. We do have solutions that will hopefully allow as many people as possible to experience Plumbers. We appreciate your patience and enthusiasm.
Linux Plumbers is currently sold out of regular registration tickets. Although the conference is virtual this year our virtual platform cannot support an unlimited number of attendees, hence the cap on registration. We are currently reviewing our capacity limits to see if we can allow more people to attend without over burdening the virtual platform and potentially preventing discussion. We will make another announcement next week regarding registration.
