[Good news: FOSDEM will feature a dedicated networking DevRoom with half
 a day reserved to SDN & NFV topics. See the announcement below for all
 the details and deadlines.]

Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation in the FOSDEM
2015 Networking DevRoom!

Important dates:
* Nov 25: Deadline for submissions
* Dec  1: Speakers notified of acceptance
* Dec  5: Schedule published

This is the first time that networking has been included as a
stand-alone DevRoom, and this year the topics will cover two distinct
fields:
* Software Defined Networking (SDN), covering virtual switching, open
  source SDN controllers, virtual routing
* Network management, covering host-level networking - NetworkManager,
  ConnMan, systemd, wicked, kernel network services, network security, etc

We are now inviting proposals for talks about Free/Libre/Open-source
Software on the topics of SDN and network management. This is an
exciting and growing field, and this is a unique opportunity to show
novel ideas and developments to a very knowledgeable technical audience.

Topics accepted include, but are not limited to:
SDN:
* SDN controllers - OpenDaylight, OpenContrail, OpenStack Neutron
* Dataplane processing: DPDK, OpenDataplane, netdev, netfilter
* Virtual switches: Open vSwitch, Snabb Switch, VDE
* Open network protocols: OpenFlow, NETCONF, OpenLISP

Network management:
* Network management: NetworkManager, ConnMan, systemd-networkd,
  interoperability among these projects
* Common code infrastructure: libnl, libmnl, libsystemd, ell, pyroute2
* Network services: DHCP, DNS, DNSSEC, PPP
* Connection management: Wifi, tethering, connection sharing, metric and
  source based routing,
  interoperability among these projects
* Common code infrastructure: libnl, libmnl, libsystemd, ell, pyroute2
* Network services: DHCP, DNS, DNSSEC, PPP
* Connection management: Wifi, tethering, connection sharing, metric and
  source based routing,

Talks should be aimed at a technical audience, but should not assume
that attendees are already familiar with your project or how it solves a
general problem. Talk proposals can be very specific solutions to a
problem, or can be higher level project overviews for lesser known projects.

Please include the following information when submitting a proposal:

 *  Your name
 *  The title of your talk (please be descriptive, as titles will be
    listed with around 250 from other projects)
 *  Short abstract of one or two paragraphs
 *  Short bio (with photo)

The deadline for submissions is November 25th 2014. FOSDEM will be held
on the weekend of January 31st-February 1st 2015 and the Networking
DevRoom will take place on Saturday, January 31st 2015. Please use the
following website to submit your proposals:
https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM15 (you do not need to create
a new Pentabarf account if you already have one from past years).

You can also join the devroom's mailing list, which is the official
communication channel for the DevRoom: network-devroom at lists.fosdem.org
