SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/24/15 -- The OPNFV Project, a community-led industry supported open source reference platform for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), today announced the creation of the OPNFV Summit and call for speaking proposals. The goal of the Summit is to enable collaboration between the service providers, networking industry and open source communities to advance the development and adoption of an open source NFV platform. Hosted by The Linux Foundation, the inaugural OPNFV Summit will take place in Burlingame, Calif., November 11-12, 2015.

Speaker proposals are now being accepted for the Summit. The deadline to submit a proposal is Wednesday, September 2, 2015.

NFV is revolutionizing the networking industry by allowing service providers to deliver new services to their customers more quickly while significantly reducing both operating and capital expenditures. The OPNFV Summit is uniting the communities, projects, products and companies that are driving today's NFV ecosystems, along with best practices from the world of open source software and collaborative development.

"The OPNFV project is unique as it aims to build a carrier-grade NFV platform by integrating and testing existing open source software components and contributing back into upstream communities based on NFV requirements," said Heather Kirksey, director, OPNFV. "The Summit will offer plenty of opportunities for collaboration between open source communities and industry experts, to work with the code and the developers who are solving the real-world problems."

OPNFV Summit includes keynotes, technical sessions and hands-on design workshops hosted by industry leaders on topics that will include, but are not limited to:

• Building the OPNFV community
• OPNFV and standards bodies
• OPNFV operations and applications
• OPNFV performance and security
• OPNFV use cases
• Working with the OPNFV code and upstream projects
• Organizational impacts of OPNFV

The Summit also includes a Hackfest on November 9-10, 2015. The Hackfest is an opportunity for developers and community members to come together to contribute to ongoing projects and the OPNFV codebase.
