Developer
Summit Program Announcement
We are aiming to publish the Xen
Project Developer Summit program in the 1st week of June.
People who have submitted talks, should get an acceptance e-mail a
week before.
Birds of a
Feather Sessions & Discussion Groups
This year we will again have
space for Birds of a Feather Sessions & Discussion Groups. We
will publish how you can request a BoF a little bit closer to the
event. In the meantime you should be aware of the ground rules for
BoFs:
- Each BoF host will get 3-5 minutes (depending on the number of
BoFs on the day) to pitch your BoF to the entire audience.
Slides are not allowed.
- After we publish the Xen Project Developer schedule, community
members that have registered for the summit can submit a request
to host a BoF (specifying a couple of slots in preference order)
- BoFs are small discussion groups, not presentations. You are
expected to take notes (or nominate an attendee to do so) and
post discussion notes on one of our mailing lists after the
summit.
Developer
Meeting
I am also pleased to announce
that we will also be hosting a 1/2 day Xen Project Developer
Meeting the day after the Xen Project Developer Summit. Spaces are
limited: the event is open to all members of the Developer
Community. More details will follow soon.
Where to stay
at the summit
Discounted hotels are listed at
the event
website at the
price of 199 USD per night including wifi. Reservations have to be
made by July 30th.
We are sharing a room block with other Linux Foundation events, so
