Sorry for the late notice... There is<br class="">a hotel discount deadline today and paper submissions deadline tomorrow, so<br class="">read through this now if you are interested.<br class=""><br class="">Netdev 0.1 (year 0, conference 1) is a community-driven conference geared<br class="">towards Linux netheads. Linux kernel networking and user space utilization of<br class="">the interfaces to the Linux kernel networking subsystem are the focus. If you<br class="">are using Linux as a boot system for proprietary networking, then this<br class="">conference may not be for you.<br class=""><br class="">Why you should register<br class="">==========================<br class="">If you yearn for the old community tech driven conferences where you mingle <br class="">with fellow geeks (only these would be Linux networking geeks) then this <br class="">would be it. There will be no marketting flashy openings. There will just<br class="">be a pure feed of Linux networking.<br class="">netdev 0.1 will be held back to back with netconf 2015, the by-invite Linux<br class="">kernel networking workshop (<a href="http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2015.html" class="">http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2015.html</a>). <br class="">So gurus of all sorts will be there mingling and giving talks.<br class="">While there will be heavy Linux kernel influence we expect a lot of user<br class="">space presence as well. <br class=""><br class="">Please spread the news. Forward this email appropriately.<br class=""><br class="">Location:<br class="">==========================<br class="">Downtown Ottawa, Canada<br class=""><br class="">Confirmed keynote speaker:<br class="">==========================<br class="">David S. Miller - The Current State of Linux kernel Networking.<br class=""><br class="">Accepted talks, workshops, tutorials and BOFs:<br class="">==========================<br class="">17 talks, 1 workshop, 4 BOFs, 3 tutorials so far...<br class="">The content of the Tutorials/BOFs/talk continues to be updated at:<br class=""><a href="https://www.netdev01.org/sessions" class="">https://www.netdev01.org/sessions</a><br class="">All of the accepted proposals are new work. A couple of proposals have been<br class="">returned for rework prior to acceptance. There are still more excellent<br class="">proposals currently making their way through the technical committee vetting<br class="">process. The committee has so far been very impressed with the quality of<br class="">proposals submitted.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Scope:<br class="">==========================<br class="">The netdev conference this year is structured to be 50/50 by-invitation talks<br class="">and talk submission. We are making sure that we reach out to speakers who have <br class="">interesting relevant topics because we recognize most of these folks would <br class="">typically not be submitting papers to a conference. The invitation will be <br class="">made by the technical committee to the individual speakers both for <br class="">paper and tutorial sessions. Anyone is welcome to attend.<br class=""><br class="">The call for papers is for the 50% submission portion of the conference for <br class="">both paper submission as well as tutorials.<br class="">We *highly discourage* submission of recycled talks.<br class=""><br class="">Current topics include<br class="">- wireless<br class="">- performance analysis and improvement<br class="">- networking hardware and offload<br class="">- netfilter<br class="">- traffic control<br class="">- different networking layers (L2/3, etc)<br class="">- internet of things<br class="">- security<br class="">- additional topics can be suggested<br class=""><br class="">We encourage submission of papers and tutorials. Unlike other conferences, we <br class="">are going to try and accommodate as many submissions as possible - but please <br class="">stay within the relevant topic focus and tie to Linux networking to make it <br class="">easier for the technical committee to provide quick feedback. In order to <br class="">give a talk you must be registered. If your proposal is accepted you will not <br class="">be charged a conference fee or your conference fee will be refunded to you <br class="">when your talk gets accepted.<br class=""><br class="">We expect minimum of 2 parallel tracks but likely more depending on the<br class="">(quantity of submissions) in all phases i.e during tutorials,<br class="">workshops and main talks. <br class=""><br class="">How to submit a proposal (deadline tomorrow, Jan 24)<br class="">==========================<br class="">Send email to netdev01@lists.netfilter.org with a paragraph or<br class="">two of your proposal.<br class="">For paper proposals, if your submission is accepted we will provide<br class="">you a template to use.<br class="">A minimum of two pages is needed so as to to allow people to skip the <br class="">burden of writing a large paper. The maximum page limit is 10 pages.<br class=""><br class="">Hotel discount rates deadline today<br class="">==========================<br class="">Today is the last day that the Westin Hotel will be holding a block of<br class="">rooms for Netdev01 at a guaranteed rate of $159.00 or $179.00<br class="">(depending on the type of room required) and there are still rooms<br class="">available.<br class=""><br class="">Please dont procastinate and book now. We are trying to negotiate with<br class="">the hotel to see if they can extend the deadline but so far we have not<br class="">been successful. We are competing against a few tourist activities for<br class="">hotel rooms going on around the area at the same time (example:<br class="">http://www.ottawafestivals.ca/events/winterlude-2/) so we can assure you<br class="">the prices will go up.<br class="">Avoid disappointment and do your reservations at:<br class="">https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/res?id=1412035802&key=1AC9C1F8<br class=""><br class="">Registration:<br class="">==========================<br class="">https://onlineregistrations.ca/netdev01/<br class="">$100/day, or $350 for 4 days (Cdn dollars). (online reg closes Feb 12th)<br class="">Please register as early as practical. Registering helps us plan properly for<br class="">numbers of attendees, ensuring venue sizes and supplies are appropriate without<br class="">wasting resources.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Important Dates:<br class="">==========================<br class="">December 2, 2014<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Call for Papers opens<br class="">December 10, 2014<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Registration opens<br class="">January 23, 2015<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Hotel discount rates deadline<br class="">January 24, 2015<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Call for sessions deadline<br class="">February 12, 2015<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>On-line registration closes<br class="">February 14-17, 2015<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Conference days<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Sponsors:<br class="">==========================<br class="">We'd like to thank our sponsors: https://netdev01.org/sponsors<br class="">Verizon http://www.verizon.com/<br class="">Cumulus Networks http://cumulusnetworks.com/ <br class="">Mojatatu Networks http://mojatatu.com/ <br class="">Qualcomm http://www.qualcomm.com/<br class="">Google http://www.google.com/<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br class="">THE Technical Conference on Linux Networking, February 14-17, 2015, Ottawa, Canada<br class="">https://netdev01.org/<br class=""><br class="">Contact:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>info@netdev01.info<br class="">Main site:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>https://www.netdev01.org/<br class="">Announcement:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>https://www.netdev01.org/announce<br class="">CFP:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>https://www.netdev01.org/cfp<br class="">Travel/hotel/weather/clothing:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>https://www.netdev01.org/travel<br class="">RSS feed:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>https://netdev01.org/atom<br class="">Follow us on Twitter: @netdev01 https://twitter.com/netdev01<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div></div><br class=""></body></html>
