For anybody attending the DPDK Summit Userspace event in Dublin, we now have a discounted rate of €169 per night set up with the Clayton Hotel. To get this you can book via the hotel website (https://www.claytonhotelballsbridge.com/) and enter a code of KTSE260917. The discounted rate only applies on Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th Sept. The rate is available until 10th September. Anybody booking after that will get the regular rate. If you have any problems using this, or if you've already booked at a higher rate and want to ask about changing, you can call (+353-1-668-1111) or email (reservations.ballsbridge at claytonhotels.com) the hotel.

> For anybody planning to attend our DPDK Summit Userspace event in Dublin
> (September 26/27), registration is now open at: https://dpdksummit.com/.
> 
> The CFP for this event is also now open. You can submit presentation
> proposals at: https://dpdksummit.com/AbstractProposalSubmission.aspx.
> The deadline for submissions is Friday August 25th.
> 
> Since this is a technical conference aimed at DPDK software developers,
> proposals should focus on the main technical challenges for the project,
> including things like:
> - New APIs, libraries and features
> - DPDK changes required to facilitate hardware acceleration
> - Technical challenges facing the DPDK community, including parts of the
> code that need to be refactored
> - Improvements to interworking with the Linux kernel
> - Improvements to performance, usability and packaging
> - Virtualization and container networking
> - Innovative networking technologies such as P4, and their impact on
> DPDK
> 
> Another thing to consider when submitting proposals is that Userspace is
> an interactive event where we focus more on discussion and less on
> presentation. Ideally, we're looking for topics where somebody can give
> a short presentation to introduce a topic and describe the main
> technical challenges, and then lead a discussion where the rest of the
> community can give their views and we can try to reach agreement on the
> next steps. A great example from last year was the session Olivier
> presented on the mbuf changes.
> 
> At the moment, Trishan (our Linux Foundation Project Manager) is working
> with the Governing Board and the Technical Board to create a working
> group for planning/managing DPDK events. We'll use a subset of that
> working group to review presentation proposals and finalise the agenda.
