Heya!
The Call For Papers for the Linux Plumbers Conference has been
extended until *July 31st*!
Anyone doing (audio) infrastructure work on Linux? If so, please make
sure to join us at the Linux Plumbers Conference in Portland/Oregon in
September. I will be doing a track about "Audio" there and would like
to make sure that everyone who does audio infrastructure work will
submit a paper, or at least attend, or maybe just knows about this
conference!
It's a conference about the kernel-userspace interfacing, about the
lower levels in our software stack.
I guess you could include FFADO as "audio infrastructure on Linux",
although done in userspace. But unfortunately traveling overseas to
Portland is not really an option due to the cost.
To say this explicitly: the conference is about infrastructure on both
the kernel and the userspace side of the medal. It's about all that
stuff in the kernel that needs to interface directly with userspace,
but even more about all the userspace stuff that interfaces directly with
the kernel. FFADO seems to do the latter. Hence, FFADO fits
*perfectly* into what Plumber's is about I would say.
There's always the Linux Foundation Travel Fund. Since the Linux
Foundation is backing this conference I am pretty sure we can find
some funding for you (off list).
