Upcoming Events

Netdev conference 0x14 going virtual

The Netdev society has announced that the Netdev 0x14 conference, originally scheduled for March, will be a virtual event beginning August 16.

It was a difficult decision to reach because all of us (and including the poll results) would have prefered a physical meeting. It is impossible to replace the hallway track with a virtual meeting. [...]

To all the folk who worked hard to contribute submissions and to the program committee that worked hard and reviewed these submissions, it is only fair that we provide a platform where these ideas will be shared in a timely fashion.
