Recordings from last week's @linuxplumbersconf 2025 are now available.🥳
You have two options to find the ones you might be interested in:
* Look through this YouTube-Playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVsQ_xZBEyN3-ZbrEgTiCpm1-Sg_ihLVF)
* Find and open interesting talks via the Schedule Overview (https://lpc.events/event/19/timetable/#all) or the Detailed Schedule (https://lpc.events/event/19/timetable/?view=lpc), as the individual talk descriptions link to the videos. And as a bonus, they besides the summary usually contain links to the slides shown, too.
