Hi all,

I added a paragraph about this LinuxCon talk at the end of the blog. I also pitched it to Simon Sharwood at The Register to see if he's interested in talking to us further. He's based in Australia, so I might not hear from him immediately. For this reason, I suggested we publish on Tuesday in case he would like to chat with Xen.Â

Thanks,

I think the article looks very good now. I propose to publish on Monday, if there is no further feedback
