As the Linux networking maintainer, I would like to make clear my relationship with the Netdev Society and its event, the NetDev conference. I am no longer associated with either.
I am writing to provide clarity on this situation to the subscribers of the 'netdev' mailing list and the community at large. Specifically, I am writing to make sure there isn't any confusion through the use of the name "NetDev" that I either continue to plan, support or participate in this event. I do not. While in the past I have participated in the NetDev events as a member of the NetDev technical committee and as a member of the NetDev Society's board, I have formally left the board, am no longer associated with planning the NetDev conference and do not intend to participate in future NetDev conference events. Having said all of this, I look forward to continued great work on the netdev project and sharing cool advances in networking at the networking track of Linux Plumbers Conference.
