[FOSDEM] FOSDEM 2019 Software Defined Networking Devroom CFP

[Ray Kinsella]

Hi folks,

Just a quick reminder that the FOSDEM 2019 CFP closes on November 25th.

If you know engineers working on Networking open source in Europe, this 
is a great opportunity for them to promote their work. Would love to see 
an abstract from you or your colleagues.

Thanks,
