Held in Boston in August, LinuxCon attracted significant kernel contributors from industry and academia and from around the world. Three of this year's hot topics were power management, advances in filesystems and Android. I'll present a summary of the presentations I found most compelling touching on subjects like per-device hibernation and wakelocks and cpu_idle states; btrfs and ext4 and xfs; Android's boot time and the Oracle lawsuit."
