Schedule

The schedule of the 2014 Microconference-Name Plumbers Micro Conference is as follows. Note presentation slides can be found on the Plumbers page by following the links to the abstracts:

  • Session 1 - TBD
  • etc…

Please note that the wireless group has met every year since 2006 and has never been short of discussion topics. However, the exact topics of discussion are often in flux until shortly before the actual meeting…

Topics of discussion will likely include discussions of new standards, upcoming technologies, interfaces between drivers and the wireless core, interfaces between in-kernel components and userland connection managers, kernel maintenance issues, dealing with regulatory concerns, etc.

Discussion notes

This is a good place to record notes from your session. All too often, if notes were not written down, the session might as well not have happened.

Notes from previous years' meetings: Wireless Developer Summits
