Agenda
The project's Antitrust Policy is linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important when multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review it, and if you have any questions, please contact your company's legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

Event Recaps & Scheduling
@Ranny Haiby recaped the LF Networking & Edge Summit, Cloud Native Telco day, and KubeCon EU that recently took place in London.
Ranny noted that the recordings for all sessions are available at:
Open Networking and Edge Summit - ONE Summit 2025 - London
Cloud Native Telco Day - Cloud Native Telco Day 2025 - Europe
Ranny spoke about the desire for face-to-face events. Ranny recommended that you share your concerns with your board member to ensure that we can make the best use of our resources and get maximum engagement with the community.
@Casey Cain spoke about LFN Developer & Testing Forum events for 2025.
We previously agreed in the TAC that we wanted to hold more targeted virtual developer events for our projects to highlight their communities. We need the communities to let the LF staff know what the communities would like to do for their developer events and when they would like to hold them. LF Staff will help facilitate the event the best that they can.
Please open a ticket at support@lfnetworking.org with the following information:
Community
Date(s) (we recommend doing 1 day).
Face-to-Face is not getting enough in person attenence to keep holding those events. If we can get critical mass, we can convince the Board to fund those events.
