Each year, the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board (TAB) seeks
an organizing committee for the annual Linux Plumbers Conference; that
process has now begun for the 2017 event. This is your chance to put
your stamp on one of our community's most important gatherings.
LPC 2017 will take place September 13-15, and will be colocated with
Open Source Summit NA (formerly LinuxCon NA) at the JW Marriott in
Downtown Los Angeles CA.
Interested groups should have, at a minimum, an events coordinator, a
treasurer, a microconference chair, and a chairperson. This group must
be able to take the initiative to handle conference-specific details
(including social events, the miniconf program, and more) while working
with the Linux Foundation to ensure that logistics work smoothly.
The process for putting in an application to run the Linux Plumbers
Conference is documented here:
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/en/LPC
Applications should be in by October 1st; the TAB then will announce a
decision by (at the latest) November 11th.
If you're interested in submitting a proposal, but are concerned that
you don't know enough about how previous Plumbers has been run, then
fear not! The TAB will support the selected organizing committee with
additional volunteers with past Plumbers organizing experience. Above
all we are looking for a capable and enthusiastic group who we can work
with to make the 2017 Linux Plumbers Conference a great success.
If you have any questions about the submission process, please email the
TAB at tech-bo...@lists.linux-foundation.org
