[LSFMMBPF 2021] A status update

[Josef Bacik]

Hello,

We on the program committee hope everybody has been able to stay safe and 
healthy during this challenging time, and look forward to being able to see all 
of you in person again when it is safe.

The current plans for LSFMMBPF 2021 are to schedule an in person conference in 
H2 (after June) of 2021.  The tentative plan is to use the same hotel that we 
had planned to use for 2020, as we still have contracts with them.  However 
clearly that is not set in stone.  The Linux Foundation has done a wonderful job 
of working with us to formulate a plan and figure out the logistics that will 
work the best for everybody, I really can't thank them enough for their help.

Once we have a finalized date we will redo the CFP emails, probably coming out 
March time frame.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to 
respond to this email, or email me or any of the other PC members privately and 
we will do our best to answer your questions.  Rest assured the general timing 
of the conference is going to take into account the wide variety of schedules 
that we are dealing with, and we will do our best to come up with something that 
works for as many as people as possible.

We hope that you and your families continue to stay safe and health.  Thank you 
on behalf of the program committee:
