Reminder: This is a vendor-neutral community event — no product or vendor sales pitches. Avoid sales or marketing pitches and discussing unlicensed or potentially closed-source technologies when preparing your proposal; these talks will not be accepted due to the fact that they take away from the integrity of our events, and are rarely well-received by conference attendees.

By submitting, you agree to The Linux Foundation's Code of Conduct.

By submitting, you agree that you have both read and agree to adhere to the SONiC Foundation's Vendor Neutrality Guidelines
