Last seen at the netdev conf 0x13 BitsNibblesBytesWordAndBigwords event in Prague[1] and back by popular demand, the OG of all ether (not just wifi), the battler of bufferbloat, destroyer of the world’s high latency and jitter, purveyor of fq_codel and libreqos, sailor and tinkerer, the monsieur: Dave Taht.

Known for such FOSS hits like “It GPLs me”, “The Mushroom management song”, and “One First Landing”, amongst others, Mr. Taht may be releasing a new song at 0x17!

Dave wants us all to see an internet with sufficiently low latency and jitter such that “you could plug your piano into the wall and play with a drummer across town”.

He’s planning to run a music BoF for everyone who appreciates music and all things open. Please ping the maestro dave.taht@gmail.com and you can partake in the BoF he is setting up at the conference.
Bring your instrument to the show and join in the fun!
