LPC 2021 Networking and BPF Track CFP

Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) will be held September 27-29, hopefully in Dublin, Ireland. The Call for Proposals for the Networking and BPF track is open until August 13. "Note that if an in-person conference should prove to be impossible due to the circumstances at that time, Linux Plumbers will switch to a virtual-only conference. CFP submitters should ideally be able to give their presentation in person, if circumstances permit, although presenting remotely will always be possible."
