We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation for the FOSDEM 2025 (On-campus) Network Devroom The FOSDEM Network devroom hosts a diversity of talks covering open source networking projects and technologies. 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 and telemetry) - Network management (enterprise, carrier-grade, cloud, IoT) - Networking protocols (the full alphabet soup) - Cybersecurity (IPS, IDS, Deep-Packet Inspection) - Development tools (libraries, SDKs, plugins) - Network stacks Suggested Topics ================ If it moves network packets, monitors, or interacts with, or supervises entities that move 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 CheckMK, collectd, Icinga2, Naemon, ntopng Frameworks DPDK, eBPF, FD.io, PF_RING, XDP Switching FastClick, Open vSwitch, Snabb Stacks BSD, F-Stack, Linux Container CNI, Cilium, Docker, Falco, Kubernetes Routing BIRD, FRRouting, Go-BGP Security nDPI, OPNsense, Snort, Suricata, Wazuh, Zeek Scanning nmap, OpenVAS, zmap Peer-to-peer DHTs, Gossip, hole punching Tooling Moongen, Scapy, TRex, VSPerf, Warp17 Telcos free5GC, Kamailio, Magma Core, Nephio, Osmocom 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.
