This is about as reliable as Phoronix's annual "Steam is coming to Linux and we can prove it this time!" story. Inside it reads: "We talked to someone at Valve and they said Steam is coming to Linux!!1"
I have heard such rumors specific to Netflix in the past, but really, "I talked to some guys from Netflix and they said so" does not meet the standard of proof expected to publish such findings in a public pronouncement not clearly marked as rumor.
Also, how many Netflix employees that would know about this project were at OSCON? You may be exposing them even if you don't post their names.
