Thank you to everyone who attended Linux Plumbers 2024 both in person and virtually!

This year we were able to accommodate huge demand for in-person participation and we were glad to see more than 700 people in the Austria Center.
As in previous years after the pandemic we also had a virtual component with more than 200 participants.

We had a lot of great content in Refereed Track, Kernel Summit, eBPF and Networking Summits and Toolchains Track and a lot of productive discussions in 24 microconferences.

There also were 25 Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, many of them were added during the event to continue a discussion that started in a microconference or in the Hallway Track.

There are recordings of live streams and we hope to have recordings of all the sessions soon.

Finally, I want to thank all those that were involved in making Linux Plumbers the best technical conference there is. This would not have happened without the hard work from the planning committee (Alice Ferrazzi, André Almeida, Christian Brauner, David Woodhouse, James Bottomley, Kate Stewart, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Shuah Khan, Song Liu, Steve Rostedt, Tim Bird), the runners of the Networking and BPF Summit tracks, the Toolchain track, Kernel Summit, and those that put together the very productive microconferences. I would also like to thank all those that presented as well as those who attended both in-person and virtually.

I want to thank our sponsors for their continued support, without them Linux Plumbers Conference would not be possible.

And a very special thanks to the Linux Foundation and their staff who did really great job behind the scenes and on-site to make this conference run smoothly. Their work is greatly appreciated by the LPC planning committee.

Sincerely,

Mike Rapoport
Linux Plumbers 2024 Conference chair

The OpenSSH project has released version 9.9. This version includes support for the new post-quantum cryptography standard from NIST. The release also includes the next step in the deprecation of DSA keys — they are now disabled by default at compile time, and are expected to be removed entirely in early 2025. The release also contains the normal mixture of bug fixes and small usability improvements.
