A 2020 FD.io event is something that has been discussed a number of times recently at the FD.io TSC. With the possibility of co-locating such an event with DPDK Userspace, in Bordeaux, in September.
Clearly, we are incredibly eager to make sure that such an event would be a success. That FD.io users and contributors would attend, and get value out of the event. (it is a ton of work for those involved - we want people to benefit)
The likelihood is that this would be the only FD.io event of this kind in 2020.
So instead of speculating, it is better to ask a direct question to the community and ask for honest feedback. How does the community feel about such an event at DPDK Userspace:-
* Do they value co-locating with DPDK Userspace? * Are they likely to attend?
IMO, this is valuable and would definitely be helpful to solve problems across the aisle I would attend.
