Hello Linux testing enthusiasts,

The CFP is open for the testing/fuzzing microconference[1] at Linux plumbers conference.

Please submit your ideas for discussion topics usin the LPC CFP tool:

https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/abstracts/

Click "Submit new Proposal" at the bottom of the page.

There are some suggested topics in the MC announcement[1], but feel free to submit ideas that are not on that list.

And yes, LPC will be virtual this year as announced on the LPC blog: https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/blog/2020/linux-plumbers-conference-2020-g...

The tools and logistics are being actively worked on, so stay tuned to the LPC blog for all the details.

Thanks,

Kevin

The Testing and Fuzzing microconference focuses on advancing the current state of testing and validation of the Linux Kernel, with a focus on encouraging and facilitating collaboration between testing projects.

Suggested Topics:

Next steps for KernelCI (data formats, dashboards, etc)
Structured data feeds for cross-project collaboration
Integration with kernel.org tools (e.g. b4)
Continued defragmentation of testing infrastructure
Better sanitizers: KASAN improvements, KCSAN fallout, future plans.
Better hardware testing, hardware sanitizers: how the USB fallout was handled, are there efforts to poke at something besides USB?
Improving real-time testing: is there any testing for real time at all?

Hi Kevin,

What is the deadline? I almost prepared a proposal, just want to make sure I won't miss the deadline by a day :)

Aug 17th.

I see some other MCs have "CFP Ends:", but not Testing MC: https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/page/80-accepted-microconferences#...

Oops, I'll get that added to our entry.

Also what are the options for duration? Can I ask for a particular duration in the proposal comments?

Yes, you can request a duration, but keep in mind the virtual nature of the event.

If you think it's useful, you can also propose follow-up/breakout with a smaller group of interested parties for more detailed technical discussion. It's still a bit unclear how this is all going to work out with it being virtual, but we'll be able to do smaller, targetted sessions if needed as well.
