The Linux Foundation is calling for session proposals for two major conferences in 2026, with deadlines approaching soon. The MCP Dev Summit in New York City and HPSFcon in Chicago aim to gather insights on open-source technologies and high-performance computing.
The Linux Foundation has issued urgent calls for proposals to shape the programs of its upcoming developer summits. For the MCP Dev Summit, scheduled for April 2-3 in New York City, organizers are inviting contributions from those building with MCP, scaling it in production, or exploring its applications. They seek real-world experiences, lessons learned, and innovative ideas to advance MCP. Proposals must be submitted by January 22, leaving just two weeks from the announcement on January 8, 2026.
Similarly, for HPSFcon, set for March 16-20 in Chicago, the deadline is even tighter, with only three days remaining as of January 8, 2026. Topics cover high-performance computing (HPC) user needs, contributor journeys, scaling open-source projects, performance workflows, and more. Interested participants can submit sessions via the official portal by January 11.
These events highlight the Foundation's commitment to fostering collaboration in open-source communities, particularly in areas like model control platforms (MCP) and HPC. By sharing practical insights, contributors can influence the direction of these fields amid growing demands for scalable technologies.
