We wanted to do a netconf in Sydney right before LCA08, but an unnamed
company with a multi billion dollar market capitalization that uses
Linux networking technology on thousands upon thounsands of their
servers didn't want to pony up for some funding to cover airfare and
hotel expenses for several of the attendees.  They wanted to provide
nothing more than a conference room and then get their names in bright
lights so they could say they "sponsored" netconf.

So, no, there will be no netconf at LCA08.  But many of us will be
there anyways and chatting in any event :-)

Thanks for the offer for the network pipe.  I'm not interested
personally as I like to relax during the conference not hack actively
on anything too seriously.  I'm there to present, keep up semi
regularly with my email, and chat with folks.

Now, if this were available outside of the conference so that we could
play with it remotely from where we work, that's more interesting.
