Great news, procrastinators (and those who simply have too much on their plate)! We're extending the submission deadline for our Call For Papers to Tuesday, May 10th.

The deadline extension is designed to give everyone the chance to submit a talk or tutorial proposal—so if you have been contemplating a topic, go ahead and submit!

We are happy to announce that Texas Linux Fest 2016 has been scheduled. We are going to be at the Austin Convention Center July 8th and 9th!
