Statement regarding NetDev conference and NetDev Society

As the Linux networking maintainer, I would like to make clear my
relationship with the Netdev Society and its event, the NetDev
conference.  I am no longer associated with either.

I am writing to provide clarity on this situation to the subscribers
of the 'netdev' mailing list and the community at large.

Specifically, I am writing to make sure there isn't any confusion
through the use of the name "NetDev" that I either continue to plan,
support or participate in this event.  I do not.

While in the past I have participated in the NetDev events as a member of
the NetDev technical committee and as a member of the NetDev Society's
board, I have formally left the board, am no longer associated with
planning the NetDev conference and do not intend to participate in future
NetDev conference events.

Having said all of this, I look forward to continued great work on the
netdev project and sharing cool advances in networking at the networking
track of Linux Plumbers Conference.
