Thinking about it, I'm not sure exactly what would be interesting to say 
about the conference.  It was very Huawei-centric.  They have a 
cloud-based product they are selling in China.  They are interested in 
NFV, and in mobile.  Probably the most surprising thing was the degree 
of push for containers as a "virtualization" solution, with James 
Bottomley trying to claim that containers were as secure as virtual 
machines.
Lars, was there anything in particular you thought would be worth 
reporting on / describing?
Other possibilities for blog topic this week include:
* My talk, blog-ified (Why virtualization in your car?)
* A description of the populate-on-demand feature, as many people seem 
confused about what it is and how it works. :-)
Thoughts?

 -George
