This page holds information on the proposal of an network management microconference at Linux Plumbers 2014.
Below is a list of tentative topics to be discussed. The plan is to have a have a microconf that has a lot of hands-on opportunities and some real work gets done, along with important discussions on specifications, etc.
These topics were part of the automotive microconference proposal. Since the list got a bit longer it seems reasonable to put it into its own microconference.
Many distros ship systemd now. systemd-networkd targets 'static' use cases (e.g. setup Ethernet device and fetch a DHCP lease). NetworkManager and ConnMan have support also for dynamic setups involving WiFi or Bluetooth devices. Obviously, those and many related projects need to coordinate between.
Following attendees will show up (if nothing goes wrong):
This is a good place to record notes from your session. All too often, if notes were not written down, the session might as well not have happened.
