Call for Presentation Proposals 
The Xen Summit will include two full days of technical discussion and
working meetings.  We begin at 1pm on November 14th (to allow folks to
fly in from the east on the day), and we will end late morning on the
16th, to allow folks to fly home prior to the weekend.

There will be opening and closing plenary sessions, and up to two tracks
of parallel sessions during the remainder of the meeting. We invite you
to submit proposals for presentations and/or tutorials on any of the
topics below, or indeed any other topic of importance to the Xen
development community. Areas of interest include:

Xen Project roadmap
Xen Security roadmap
Core hypervisor roadmap
x86/ia64/ppc and other ports
Integrating smart I/O hardware
Benchmarking and performance optimization 
Testing 
Real World Experience with Xen
Xen Control Stack roadmap 
Linux Paravirt_ops and upstreaming 
Solaris, *BSD and other OSes 
Improving emulated device support 
SCSI, Framebuffer and other driver support 
Research projects using Xen
Interoperability with other virtualization platforms, eg KVM
Please send a paragraph proposing your topic and desired presentation
length (plan for 1/2 hour sessions) detailing the specific technical
area and contribution you will make.  As with previous summits, all the
talks presented will be collected to appear as PDFs on the summit web
site.  We would ideally like papers to be accompanied by a written
mini-paper, to augment the presentation.

Please submit your proposals to summit-talks <at> xensource.com.
