To ensure the Linux kernel is running smoothly, it requires maintenance from a variety of levels. Those working on the lower levels, or the plumber layers, of the kernel will have a chance to convene next week at the annual Linux Plumbers Conference. Joining together at the Omni Richmond Hotel in Richmond Virginia, developers will be able to attend different micro conferences and will also have the ability to do so remotely. The kernel fun starts on November 13 and wraps up on November 15.
This year we have the pleasure of presenting talks in several tracks including Kernel Testing & Dependability, Containers and checkpoint/restore, and Rust, and we will also be leading a key Birds of a Feather discussion on reporting and tracking regressions across the Linux kernel ecosystem. Additionally, Guillaume Tucker will be taking part as co-lead of the Kernel Testing & Dependability microconference.
