[Publicity] FOSDEM abstract

[George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So below is the abstract I submitted to LinuxCon.  Is it OK to submit it 
mostly as-is to FOSDEM, or do I need to change it sufficiently to look 
like a different talk?
It almost certainly *will* be a different talk, with more time to 
prepare, different audience, different time frame, &c... just the basic 
idea will be the same.

Security in the Cloud: Containers, KVM, and Xen

Abstract

In our interconnected world of mobile and cloud computing, particularly 
with the rise of governmental spying, corporate espionage, and theft of 
data by organized crime syndicates, security is more important than 
ever.  Many claims are being made about the security of open-source 
cloud technologies: How can administrators, users, and developers 
separate fact from fiction?
This talk will equip the audience with the principles needed to evaluate 
security claims.  We will talk the nature of risk, of vulnerabilities 
and exploits; the various factors that reduce the risk of 
vulnerabilities in software;  and about TCB, threat models, and 
defense-in-depth.
We will then apply these principles to three open-source cloud 
technologies: containers, KVM, and Xen, to see how they stack up. These 
will be backed up with numbers: lines of code, security advisories, 
entry points, and so on.
