Lustre Admins & Devs Workshop is a great opportunity for Lustre worldwide administrators and developers to gather and exchange their experiences, developments, tools, good practices and more.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, LAD will be a virtual event this year.

Presentations will be aired using Zoom from October 13th to October 15th. They will be divided into 3 two hours-long sessions, each of which will be broadcast twice: once at 8AM (UTC) and once again at 4PM (UTC).

There is still room for a couple of presentations. Please submit a summary of your presentation on easychair. Further information on the submission and review process is available here.

Registration is open! It is free of charge.

There is one distinct registration for 8AM UTC sessions (session #1) and 4PM UTC sessions (session #2):

• Register to sessions #1 (8AM UTC)
• Register to sessions #2 (4PM UTC)

All sessions are broadcast twice:

• Session #1 at 8AM UTC (10AM CEST)
