[$] Notes from an online free-software conference
The 2020 Linux Plumbers
Conference (LPC) was meant to be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada at the
end of August. As it happens, your editor was on the organizing committee
for that event and thus got a close view of what happens when one's hopes
for discussing memory-management changes on the Canadian eastern seaboard
become one of the many casualties of an ongoing pandemic. Transforming
LPC into a successful online experience was a lot of work, but the results
more than justified the effort. Read on for some notes and thoughts from
the experience of making LPC happen in 2020.
