WSLConf is the first and only community conference dedicated to Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
Canonical proudly sponsored the first WSLConf in March 2020. Since then Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL 2 has arrived and support for AI/ML workloads is available in Windows Insiders.
With WSL growing, WSLConf community organizers did not want to wait another year to gather the community together. WSLConf is returning in September 2020 in virtual form, as microWSLConf.
microWSLConf will feature a virtual hallway track for unscheduled conversations by attendees and breakout sessions for affinity groups.
The schedule for microWSLConf has been broken into two shorter sessions expanding the geographic reach of the virtual conference to Europe, Africa, and Asia.
| Session One NYC: September 9 9pm-12am SEA: September 10 6pm-9pm LON: September 10 2am-5am HKG: September 10 9am-12pm | Session Two NYC: September 10 10am-1pm SEA: September 10 7am-10am LON: September 10 3pm-6pm HKG: September 10 10pm-12am |
