Netconf is a yearly, by-invitation-only, Linux community conference
running for the second year.
The agenda has a clear focus on kernel level networking. Attendees are
the main maintainers and developers of the Linux networking
subsystem. Invitation is issued only 10-15 people who have provided
significant contributions.
Due to the distributed nature of the Network subsystem development,
contributors to the stack are located in different corners of the globe
and coordinate security and bug fixes as well maintanance and new
features via email.
Netconf is intended to be a face to face working meet to compliment
those email exchanges. Problematic unresolved issues are trashed
and bold new ideas are discussed.
