Hi,

As previously announced Netdev 0x14 is to be held in Vancouver, Canada from June 16th to 19th, 2020.

However, based on the fluidity of the current conditions in North America and around the world, the Netdev Society board is considering the following alternative options: - A virtual version of the conference - A hybrid version which includes the conference location and distributed remote locations

At this point we are actively planning for a virtual version of the conference and looking at the involved logistics. The later option can only happen if there is improvement in the situation in specific clusters where our community is based.

We will announce on the 10th of May(Mothers day) if we are confident that conditions have improved enough for any form of physical presence in Vancouver (and/or elsewhere) or whether we will instead be opting for a full virtual conference.

We will be sending out a survey to all registered attendees soon to help us understand the community’s preferences about the aspects of this (and any future virtual meetings). Your participation in that survey will provide critical feedback we will need for planning purposes. So please please plan to spend 5-10 minutes responding to the survey.

The survey will be sent only to folks who have registered. If you want to participate in the survey and are not registered please ping us at info@netdevconf.info

cheers, jamal
