We proudly announce the 8th Alpine Linux Persistence and Storage Summit (ALPSS), which will be held September 29th to October 2nd at the Lizumerhuette (https://www.lizumer-huette.at/) in Austria. The goal of this conference is to discuss the hot topics in Linux storage and file systems, such as persistent memory, NVMe, zoned storage, 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 with lots of room for discussion in small groups, as well as ample downtime to enjoy the surroundings Attendance is free except for the accommodation and food at the lodge but the number of seats is strictly limited. Cost for accommodation and half board is between 55 and 84 EUR depending on the room category, with additional discounts for members of an alpine society. If you are interested in attending please reserve a seat by mailing your favorite topic(s) to: alpss-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you are interested in giving a short and crisp talk please also send an abstract to the same address. The Lizumerhuette is an Alpine Society lodge in a high alpine environment. A hike of approximately 2 hours is required to the lodge, and no other accommodations are available within walking distance. Please note: reservations for the lodge are not handled through the reservation system, but as part of the ALPSS registration. Check our website at https://www.alpss.at/ for more details. Thank you on behalf of the program committee: Christoph Hellwig Johannes Thumshirn Richard Weinberger
