Hi,

I think it is too late, but I think one good place to educated, as you
say on virtualization, would have been RMLL (Rencontres Mondiales des
Logiciels Libres) in France. I say this about the fact:

        http://rmll2005.u-bourgogne.fr/sections/conference/noyau_et_systeme

But it seems noone could talk about Xen there.

I am sad to have register this list too late to give this information.
