Hello everyone!
We are happy to announce this year's Open vSwitch and OVN conference!
The conference will be on November 1-2, 2023 and will be a fully virtual event.
We are seeking long and short ("lightning") talks on topics related to
Open vSwitch and OVN. We expect long talks to last 25 minutes with an
additional 5 minutes for questions, and short talks to last 10 minutes.
We will use an online format. Talks will be pre-recorded and played
during the conference. During the playback, text chat will give the
attendees and the presenters an opportunity to interact. During the
question period, the presenters will answer questions live over audio
(and video, at the presenters' discretion). Video will also be
available for offline viewing.
How to propose a talk
---------------------
We are soliciting proposals for full talks and short ("lightning")
talks in a single round. You may propose a talk as a full talk, a
lightning talk, or for either one at the committee's discretion.
We will also accept proposals for panel discussions. Please submit
them as full talks and make it clear in the description that it is a
panel.
Please submit proposals to [email protected] by September 15.
Proposals should include:
* Title and abstract.
* Speaker names, email addresses, and affiliations.
* Whether you are proposing a full talk or a lightning talk or
either one at the committee's discretion.
Speakers will be notified of acceptance by September 29.
How to attend
-------------
General registration is not yet open. We will announce when it opens.
The event will be fully virtual. Will be available after registering.
At the moment we are unsure about whether attendance will
be free of cost this year. We will have a follow up soon on this.
Topics that may be considered, among others, include:
-----------------------------------------------------
* The future of Open vSwitch (e.g., AF_XDP, P4, eBPF).
* NAT, DPI, and stateful processing with Open vSwitch.
* Deploying and using OVN.
* Testing and scaling OVN.
* NIC acceleration of Open vSwitch.
* Using Open vSwitch to realize NFV and service chaining.
* Porting Open vSwitch to new operating systems, hypervisors,
or container systems.
* Integrating Open vSwitch into larger systems.
* Troubleshooting and debugging Open vSwitch installations.
* Open vSwitch development and testing practices.
* Performance measurements or approaches to improving
performance.
* End-user or service provider experiences with Open vSwitch.
* Hardware ports of Open vSwitch (existing, in progress, or
speculative).
* The relationship between OpenFlow and Open vSwitch.
* Using, developing, or administering OpenFlow controllers in
conjunction with Open vSwitch.
* Comparisons to other implementations of features found in
Open vSwitch (e.g. other OpenFlow implementations, other
software switches, etc.).
* Increasing the size and diversity of the Open vSwitch user
and developer base.
* Tutorials and walkthroughs of use cases.
* Demos.
