We're really not interested in things like this, but thanks for mentioning. At best what we do is allow one or two representatives from a major sponsoring party to attend and give a presentation (netconf is invite only, so this is a big deal). And that presentation must be on practical work the presenter has done or is doing with the Linux networking upstream (ie. it can't be a "our company needs the Linux networking to do X", some sales/marketing pitch, or "here's cool proprietary Y we're doing with Linux") -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
