Your summary is basically correct; this is a piece about the importance of selecting a FOSS hypervisor to run your Cloud. This is an argument that needs to be made to thousands of current and future VMware users. If we don't make the argument, we are leaving it up to KVM to make it - - and I don't hear them doing it.

Greg 's talk is interesting, but it is more likely to frighten IT folks - - they don't like the idea of users escaping the cage that IT has placed them in.

If folks don't think this is worthwhile, I will kill it and write a new piece.

Thanks for the feedback.

I am not sure there is much of a story here, unless I missed something. The basic argument seems to be OSS is good and avoids vendor lock in, proprietary is bad. With little supporting evidence/examples. Also the same argument applies to KVM. Maybe we can make this more real. Greg KHs user summit talk provides an interesting angle. There may be more

P.s. checking out for a week

Okay, so here is my post, available for comment:

http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2013/08/21/why-a-cloud-independent-hypervisor-is-essential/?preview=true

This piece is a thought leadership post. It is meant to appeal to a wider Cloud-interested audience. It doesn't even mention Xen until the conclusion.

It's actually more about VMware (not named) than anything. With some external promotion, I am hoping to draw some new eyes to our Xen Project blog.

It's not the best piece I've ever written, but I think it might do the job. Let me know what you think. It is currently scheduled to post around close of business GMT Wednesday.

Thanks,

[Putting on temporary Blog Czar hat]

So, does anyone else have something to write about? If not, given Anthony's situation, I'll see if there is something I can write about (like installing Xen on my laptop or some such).

Thanks,

I have no idee :(.

Well, maybe this project that I will start working on it in the next few
month, but there is not much to talk about.

It about TLB flushing optimization on the Xen side. Without any
benchmark numbers, the post will be pretty thin.
