COVID-19 SITUATION

Currently LSS-EU is planned as in-person event, however this would be
re-evaluated closer to the event itself and if the situation in Europe does
not permit such events, it would be switched to a virtual event, similarly
as this year’s LSS-NA.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

We're seeking a diverse range of attendees and welcome participation by
people involved in Linux security development, operations, and research.

LSS-EU is a unique global event that provides the opportunity to present and
discuss your work or research with key Linux security community members and
maintainers.  It’s also useful for those who wish to keep up with the latest
in Linux security development and to provide input to the development
process.
