Hello, Sorry to hear that; I believe many would want to attend netconf in case it was a part of LCA08. I must add that I followed some of the presentations slides of netconf from recent years and it seemed very interesting and very advanced. I also watched the "Linux IPSEC Scaling" video (available on the internet) from LCA 2007 and found it really interesting . (I don't think that there is any video from netconf conferences from recent years). I wish that in LCA09 things will be different.
(And of course I did not mean any netconf stuff from martin krafft, which I already knew before) Regards, Andy On Jan 14, 2008 4:08 AM, David Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Glen Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 01:23:45 +1030 > > > > > On Sat, 2008-01-12 at 08:52 +0200, Andy Johnson wrote: > > > I saw somewhere (maybe in this mailing list a while ago) that there > > > might be a Linux Kernel Developers' Netconf conference at conf.au > > > 2008. > > > > > > Does anyone here know if such a thing is planned ? > > > > I don't know. > > We wanted to do a netconf in Sydney right before LCA08, but an unnamed > company with a multi billion dollar market capitalization that uses > Linux networking technology on thousands upon thounsands of their > servers didn't want to pony up for some funding to cover airfare and > hotel expenses for several of the attendees.
