Hello everyone,

Here's the first blog update for the New Year! :-)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last posts have been:
- Me, about the Xen talks @ next FOSDEM

------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week, I'd like to publish a piece from Jim Fehlig about the libxl
driver in libvirt.

Here's a draft. I scheduled it for tomorrow morning, so speak your mind
before that time:
http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2014/01/17/libvirt-support-for-xens-new-libxenlight-toolstack/?preview=true&preview_id=8648&preview_nonce=3a12432c91

Jim, first of all, thanks a lot for your great work. I've done a few
style eits (links, picture, etc.), as agreed in a private e-mail thread.
Feel free to have a look and suggest (or do it yourself) any
modification.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next week, it will be me again. I'll either send out (after refining it
a bit, as suggested in this list), the Gentoo Xen mainainer interview,
or something else I'm preparing.

For the upcoming weeks (i.e., the on of Jan 27th, of Feb 1st, etc),
here's how the updated blog authors pipeline looks like:

+ George Dunlap (week of Jan 27th)
+ Julien Grall (week of Feb 1st)
+ Roger Pau Monne (the week after)

So, I was thinking, George, what do you think about a report of the
conference you were attending/giving talk at these latest weeks? In
which case, if you're fine with it, it's probably better to have it ASAP
(as it makes sense to have the report close to the event). If that is
the case, you can have next week, my stuff can be postponed without much
trouble.

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
