Alpine Linux Persistence and Storage Summit
September 28 to October 1 2026
Lizumerhütte, Tyrol, Austria
Details
We proudly announce the Alpine Linux Persistence and Storage Summit (ALPSS) 2026!
The goal of this conference is to discuss the hot topics in Linux storage and file systems, such as persistent memory, NVMe, multi-pathing, raw or open channel flash and I/O scheduling in a cool and relaxed setting with spectacular views in the Austrian alps.
We plan to have a small selection of short and to the point talks, and lots of room for discussion in small groups, as well as ample downtime to enjoy the surrounding.
