Announcing netdev 0.1
"Netdev" is a new conference aimed at networking developers; it will be held February 14 to 17 in balmy Ottawa, Canada. The call for papers is open now, with a submission deadline of January 10. "Netdev 0.1 (year 0, conference 1) is a community-driven conference geared towards Linux netheads. Linux kernel networking and user space utilization of the interfaces to the Linux kernel networking subsystem are the focus. If you are using Linux as a boot system for proprietary networking, then this conference may not be for you."

Update: the conference organizers have posted more information on the CFP and the types of proposals they are looking for.
