We are excited to announce that the call for proposals is now open for the Network devroom at [FOSDEM 2022]. FOSDEM is a free event for engineers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. FOSDEM is one of the largest events of its kind, hosting, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world. Please note that, due to Covid-19, FOSDEM will be held virtually again next year on the 5th and 6th of February, 2022. All presentations will be pre-recorded with live chat during each presentation and live Q&A after each presentation.

The scope of the Network devroom is broad and targets those software developers engaged in network design, monitoring, management and software development with open source tools. We typically host a variety of talks on Networking topics including: - Network monitoring (inventory, discovery & telemetry), - Network management (enterprise, carrier-grade, cloud, IoT) - Networking protocols (the full alphabet soup) - Security (IPS, IDS, protocols) - Authentication - Development tools (libraries, SDKs, plugins) - Network stacks Suggested Topics: ================= If it moves network packets, monitors, or interacts with, or supervises entities that moves network packets, it is likely a topic the devroom is interested in. A very /non-exhaustive/ list of the projects and topics we would love to see on the schedule are: Monitoring Nagios, Icinga2, Naemon, NTop, SNAS, Graphana, Prometheus, collectd Frameworks DPDK, eBPF, XDP, FD.io, PANDA Switching Snabb, OpenvSwitch, Tungsten Fabric, Lagopus, FastClick Stacks Linux, *BSD, F-Stack Controllers Istio, Envoy, Network Service Mesh, OpenDayLight, Calico, Contiv Edge Akraino, Openness Routing FRRouting, BIRD, Go-BGP Management ONAP, Ganglia, NetSNMP, PNDA.io Security Suricata, Snort Tooling VSPerf, TRex, Moongen, Scapy, Warp17 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 given problem. Talk proposals may cover very specific solutions to a problem, or may be a higher level project overview for lesser known projects. Code of Conduct =============== [FOSDEM Code of Conduct]: We'd like to remind all speakers and attendees that all of the presentations and discussions in our devroom are held under the guidelines set in the CoC and we expect attendees, speakers, and volunteers to follow the CoC at all times.
