The Open Networking & Edge Executive Forum (ONEEF) was a three-day virtual event held March 10–12, 2021. Hosted by The Linux Foundation with LF Networking and LF Edge, it brought executive and technical leaders together to discuss open networking, telecom, cloud, enterprise networking, and edge computing. The event has passed; it is best understood as a historical industry forum, not a current conference listing.

What was the event about?

ONEEF was presented as a special executive edition of the Open Networking & Edge Summit. Its agenda centered on deployment progress, the state of the industry, and priorities and challenges for 2021. Organizer materials describe perspectives spanning service providers, cloud, enterprise networking, and Edge/IoT requirements.

The Linux Foundation hosted the forum alongside LF Networking and LF Edge. The announcement was published by LF Edge on February 25, 2021. Its body includes a February 25, 2020 dateline, which appears to be an editorial error; the byline date and the event dates identify the 2021 edition.

How was ONEEF structured?

The virtual event ran for three days on a single track. Session timing changed from day to day to accommodate attendees in different global time zones. The announcement said attendees could use chat to interact with speakers and other participants and schedule one-to-one meetings; this describes the format organizers announced.

Who spoke at the 2021 forum?

The confirmed keynote lineup included leaders from standards, telecom, cloud, networking, and enterprise organizations. The announcement named:

  • Madeleine Noland of ATSC
  • Andre Fuetsch of AT&T
  • Steve Mullaney of Aviatrix
  • Jacob Smith of Equinix
  • Junlan Feng of China Mobile Research
  • Jonathan Smith of DARPA
  • George Nazi and Amol Phadke of Google Cloud
  • Shawn Zandi of LinkedIn
  • Tareq Amin of Rakuten
  • Subha Tatavarti of Walmart
  • Said Ouissal of ZEDEDA

These affiliations are those given in the 2021 announcement, not a statement of the speakers’ current roles. The archived event page also featured Subha Tatavarti, George Nazi, Junlan Feng, and Arpit Joshipura, then identified as The Linux Foundation’s General Manager for Networking, IoT & Edge. Joshipura described the forum as “a great opportunity for the community to come together virtually after a very hard year,” in the announcement.

Can you still watch the recordings?

The archived event page said the event platform would remain available for 30 days to view recordings and that recordings would also be uploaded to The Linux Foundation’s YouTube channel. That was a historical access plan; the cited event materials do not establish whether the original platform or all recordings are available now.
