Why should FOSDEM accept this proposal?

In 2013, the Xen Project became a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project. Since 
then, the project has built bridges to many other projects such as QEMU, the 
Linux Automotive Working Group, XenServer.org, OpenDayLight, OPNFV, Hyper, 
Android and many others. It has also intesivied bridges with Linux Distros such 
as CentOS, OpenSuse, ... and the BSD Distros. The project expanded into new 
areas, such as embedded and automotive and has steadily grown its contributor 
and user base.

In 2013 - 2015, we had a booth at FOSDEM that was volunteer/community staffed 
and very well attended. Unlike some of the other stands, there was always 
presence by volunteers and plenty of activity at our stand. We also invited 
other projects which have a relationship with Xen to give demos (OSv, MirageOS, 
Qubes, Xen Orchestra...) of open source technology that work with and on top of 
Xen. We hope to build further bridges at FOSDEM and again act as a hub of 
collaborative activity at FOSDEM.
