  LSS will be held this year as two separate events, one in North America
  (LSS-NA), and one in Europe (LSS-EU), to facilitate broader participation in
  Linux Security development. Note that this CFP is for LSS-NA; a separate CFP
  will be announced for LSS-EU in May. We encourage everyone to attend both
  events.
