Subject: Re: Netconf at conf.au 2008?

Hello,
Sorry to hear that; I believe many would want to attend netconf in case
it was a part of LCA08. I must add that I followed some of the presentations
slides of netconf from recent years and it seemed very interesting and
very advanced.
I also watched the "Linux IPSEC Scaling" video (available on the internet)
from  LCA 2007 and found it really interesting . (I don't think that there is
any video from netconf conferences from recent years).
I wish that in LCA09 things will be different.

(And of course I did not mean any netconf stuff from martin krafft,
which I already knew before)
Regards,
Andy
