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. They wanted to provide nothing more than a conference room and then get their names in bright lights so they could say they "sponsored" netconf. So, no, there will be no netconf at LCA08. But many of us will be there anyways and chatting in any event :-) Thanks for the offer for the network pipe. I'm not interested personally as I like to relax during the conference not hack actively on anything too seriously. I'm there to present, keep up semi regularly with my email, and chat with folks. Now, if this were available outside of the conference so that we could play with it remotely from where we work, that's more interesting. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
