We are excited to invite vendors, implementers, and working group members to Margo Plugfest #3, hosted by Intel in Chandler, Arizona! Hosted under the neutral governance of the Linux Foundation, this hands-on collaborative event serves as a critical milestone for multi-vendor integration testing and the validation of Margo Preview Release 3 (PR3) specifications.
Why Participate? Following our previous collaborative testing milestones, Plugfest #3 brings the community together to validate spec implementations live. Grounded in our commitment to open collaboration, participation is open to both Margo members and non-member organizations with active implementations. It is a prime opportunity to test workload orchestration, identify integration gaps, and shape open standards for the industrial edge.
