Speaker - Dave Taht

Dave Taht has been involved with Linux since version .99pl15 - first deploying it as part of his ISP in 1994, moving onto being one of the first inventors of the linux based embedded wifi AP in 1998, to helping create the embedded linux market with MontaVista in the early 00's, to working on wireless mesh networks and OLPC. In his most recent work of the last 8 years, he's tried to tackle some of the biggest problems the Internet has today - Edge computing (especially home routers), IPv6, security, and network latencies (a.k.a "bufferbloat") all through the Linux stack. All stacks, and standards in the IETF (rfc8290), actually.
