[FRR announce] FRRouting @ FOSDEM 2019

[Ray Kinsella]

Hi folks,

I am reaching out my friends working on open source across the spectrum 
of Open Source SDN/NFV related projects.

I am chair of the Software Defined Networking room at FOSDEM 2019.
FOSDEM is the authentic, free and Open Source conference for Europe, and 
typically attracts a huge audience of Engineers from throughout Europe. 
It takes place each year in February in Brussels.

If you know engineers working on Networking open source (FRRouting or 
anything else networking related) in Europe, this is a great opportunity 
for them to promote their work. The CFP is open until November 25th, 
would love to see an abstract from you.

Thanks,

We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation for the FOSDEM 
2019 Software Defined Networking devroom!

We are now inviting proposals for talks about Open Source Software on 
the topic of Software Defined Networking. This is an exciting and 
growing field, and FOSDEM gives an opportunity to reach a unique 
audience of very knowledgeable and highly technical, free and open 
source software activists.

**Topics:**

This year the DevRoom topics will include the following Software Defined 
Networking fields.

- Infrastructure: virtual switches & routers, routing daemons, firewall, 
security, etc.
- Virtual Network Functions: open source network functions, user-space 
networking stacks, kernel-space networking innovations.
- Tooling: Networking SDK's, libraries, frameworks, debuggers, counters 
& statistics, domain specific languages & extensions, etc.
- Validation: Testing tools & frameworks, traffic generators etc
- Orchestration: NFV management, ML2 plugins, CNI plugins, SDN 
Controllers, etc.

This year, the DevRoom will focus on low-level networking and high 
performance packet processing, network automation of containers, virtual 
machines and private cloud, and the management of networking 
applications to maintain very high availability and performance 
independent of whatever the world can throw at their infrastructure 
(datacenter outages, fires, broken servers, you name it).

The deadline for submissions is November 25th, 2018. FOSDEM will be held 
on the weekend of February 2-3, 2019 and the Software Defined Networking 
DevRoom will take place on Saturday, February 2, 2019.

See http://mdr78.github.io/fosdem/2018/10/15/fosdem-2019-cfp.html for 
more information, including how to submit a proposal.

As you know FOSDEM has zero marketing budget, we would be grateful if 
you could help spread the word, by forwarding this email to interested 
people and mailing lists.
