[ANNOUNCE] Netdev 1.2 call for proposals

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We just opened call for proposals.  We hope the conference
will be the great venue as previous netdev conferences.

http://netdevconf.org/1.2/submit-proposal.html


Netdev 1.2 is a community-driven conference geared towards
Linux netheads. Linux kernel networking and user space
utilization of the interfaces to the Linux kernel networking
subsystem are the focus. If you are using Linux as a boot
system for proprietary networking, then this conference _may
not be for you_.


* Current topics include:

- Wireless.
- Performance analysis and improvement.
- Networking hardware and offload.
- Netfilter.
- Traffic control.
- Different networking layers (L2/3, etc.).
- Internet of things.
- Security.
- Additional topics can be suggested.

We expect about 2 parallel tracks both during tutorials and main talks.

* Session submissions
We encourage submission of paper and tutorial proposals,
though we *highly discourage* submission of recycled
talks. Your proposals will be evaluated by the technical
committee in first place, that will provide prompt feedback
to you. If your proposal is approved, you will be requested
to submit your Camera-ready paper. Unlike other conferences,
accepted proposals will be regularly announced on our
website.

Please stay within the relevant topic focus and tie to FOSS
Linux networking to make it easier for the technical
committee to provide quick feedback. In order to give a talk
you must be registered. If your proposal is accepted you
will not be charged a conference fee or your conference fee
will be refunded to you when your talk gets accepted. We
will be posting more updates on how to submit in the near
future.

* Type of proposals
1. BoF

- This serves to carry out initial discussions on some topic without any pre-planned agenda.
- At least one person is responsible for introducing the topic, chairing and moderate it.
- You have to list a few people that will be planning to be there to participate in the discussion.
- Expect people from the public to participate actively in the discussions.

2. Talk

- This implies planned agenda.
- At least one person is responsible for the presentation.
- Details proposal/development plans to the public for 45 minutes.

3. Tutorial

- This implies planned agenda too.
- Introduces audience to a topic.
- Includes practical examples on using the functionality.
- Functionality should already be in mainline or at least have been posted already.

before August 15 following this format:


- Title.
