About the devroom

The FOSDEM Network devroom hosts a diversity of talks covering open source
networking projects and technologies. The scope of the Network devroom is broad
and targets those software developers engaged in network design, monitoring,
management and software development with open source tools.

We typically host a variety of talks on Networking topics including:

Suggested Topics:

If it moves network packets, monitors, or interacts with, or supervises entities
that moves network packets, it is likely a topic the devroom is interested in. A
very non-exhaustive list of the projects and topics we would love to see on
the schedule are:

Monitoring Nagios, Icinga2, Naemon, NTop, SNAS, Graphana, Prometheus, collectd
Frameworks DPDK, eBPF, XDP, FD.io, PANDA
Switching Snabb, OpenvSwitch, Tungsten Fabric, Lagopus, FastClick
Stacks Linux, *BSD, F-Stack
Controllers Istio, Envoy, Network Service Mesh, OpenDayLight, Calico, Contiv
Edge Akraino, Openness
Routing FRRouting, BIRD, Go-BGP
Management ONAP, Ganglia, NetSNMP, PNDA.io
Security Suricata, Snort
Tooling VSPerf, TRex, Moongen, Scapy, Warp17

Talks should be aimed at a technical audience, but should not assume that
attendees are already familiar with your project or how it solves a given
problem. Talk proposals may cover very specific solutions to a problem, or may
be a higher level project overview for lesser known projects.

Code of Conduct

FOSDEM Code of Conduct:

We’d like to remind all speakers and attendees that all of the presentations and
discussions in our devroom are held under the guidelines set in the CoC and we
expect attendees, speakers, and volunteers to follow the CoC at all times.

If you submit a proposal and it is accepted, you will be required to confirm
that you accept the FOSDEM CoC. If you have any questions about the CoC or wish
to have one of the devroom organizers review your presentation slides or any
other content for CoC compliance, please email us and we will do our best to
assist you.

Proposals should be made through the FOSDEM Pentabarf submission tool. You do
not need to create a new Pentabarf account if you already have one from a past
