FAQ
What is the Linux Plumbers Conference? And why the “Plumbers” part?
Linux Plumbers Conference is a conference for developers working on the low level programming of Linux, including kernel, libraries, graphics, and system applications such as udev, hal, and dbus. We came up with the name “Plumbers” because we wanted to represent these areas as the basic system infrastructure. We wanted to bring plumbers from both userspace and kernel together to solve cross-discipline problems like power management and boot time reduction.
Do I need to be a full-time student to attend?
LPC Student Day welcomes part-time and full-time undergraduate and graduate students. Advanced high school students also welcome. Just have your student ID handy.
Do I have to know anything about Linux?
No! A background in Linux programming is not required. We would like you to be enthusiastic about programming, solving problems, and participating in an open community.
