The Industry Perspective Panel is a new session which will bring in networking industry craftsmen to discuss different topics.

The primary goal is to have developers (and ops types) appreciate how Linux (networking) is used in the industry. We are not going to restrict the perspectives to be Linux only i.e a panelist does not necessarily have to use Linux in their operations, but needs to answer as to why not.

The secondary goal of this session is to learn how we can do better in Linux. Both users and non-users of Linux can teach us something.

The format is: - The panelist gives a presentation of their craft - questions by panelist moderator(s) - open mike to the conference

At 0x13, the theme is network operations. we are looking to bring in operators of medium to large size networks of different flavors. We will be announcing them. Stay tuned.

cheers, jamal
