Linux is one of the most frequently used platforms in file and storage research and FAST is the premier conference for publishing research results from the file and storage research community. This summit brings together key Linux kernel developers and academic researchers. The goal is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing current ideas in research with a group of active practitioners in the Linux Kernel.

The Linux FAST Summit '16 will take place at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara on February 25 and will be co-located with FAST '16, the 14th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies.
