Netconf is a Linux community conference, by-invitation-only,
running for the seventh year.
The agenda has a clear focus on kernel level networking. Attendees are
the main maintainers and developers of the Linux networking
subsystem. Invitation is issued only 10-15 people who have provided
significant contributions.
This winter, the Netconf joins the Netdev 0.1 held February 14-17, 2015 in Ottawa, Canada.
Due to the distributed nature of the Network subsystem development,
contributors to the stack are located in different corners of the globe
and coordinate security and bug fixes as well as maintenance and new
features via email.
Netconf is intended to be a face to face working meetup to compliment
those email exchanges. Problematic unresolved issues are hashed out
and bold new ideas are discussed.
