Hello fellow Linux NetHeads, sorry for the noise:
There seems to have been some questions about the intended audience for this
conference.
The 50/50 by-invitation/submission slots are for the *presenters* of the talks
and not for the audience of attendees. *Anyone* with an interest in Linux
networking is welcome to attend this conference.
We're very sorry for the confusion and welcome you to join us.
Cheers.

Clarification is that the presenters will be split 50/50 invitation/submission
and that regular attendance is open to anyone and we will welcome anyone to
join the conference audience.
