Hello fellow Linux NetHeads, sorry for the noise: There seems to have been some questions about the intended audience for this conference. The 50/50 by-invitation/submission slots are for the *presenters* of the talks and not for the audience of attendees. *Anyone* with an interest in Linux networking is welcome to attend this conference. We're very sorry for the confusion and welcome you to join us.

Clarification is that the presenters will be split 50/50 invitation/submission and that regular attendance is open to anyone and we will welcome anyone to join the conference audience. > This call for papers is for the 50% submission portion of the > conference for paper submissions, tutorials and workshops. > We *highly discourage* submission of recycled talks. > > Current technical focus topics include: > - wireless > - performance analysis, debugging and improvement > - networking hardware and offload > - netfilter > - traffic control > - different networking layers (L2/3, etc) > - Internet of things > - security > - additional topics can be suggested > > Unlike other conferences, we are going to try and accommodate as many > submissions as possible - but please stay within the relevant topic focus > and tie to Linux networking to make it easier for the technical committee > to provide quick feedback.
