Celebrating Two Decades of Innovation

It’s hard to believe that two decades have passed since the inception of the Xen Project, a trailblazing force in the world of open-source virtualization. As we raise our glasses to commemorate this momentous occasion, it’s not just a celebration of time but a reflection on the incredible journey that has defined the Xen Project’s legacy.

In the year 2003, the Xen Project emerged as a pioneering open-source hypervisor, laying the groundwork for some of the most influential cloud infrastructures that shape our digital landscape today. Over the past 20 years, the Xen Project has not only endured but has thrived, continuously evolving to meet the dynamic demands of the ever-changing tech landscape.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also look forward to the exciting new territories that the Xen Project is venturing into. From embedded virtualization to even making strides in the automotive industry, the Xen Project continues to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible in the world of open-source virtualization.

The Annual Event: Xen Project Developer and Design Summit

At the heart of this remarkable journey is the Xen Project Developer and Design Summit, an annual gathering of the community’s brilliant minds and power users. More than just a conference, it’s a celebration of idea exchange, a showcase of the latest advancements, a platform for sharing invaluable experiences, and a forum for strategic planning and collaborative efforts. Be sure to look out for our upcoming event in 2024.

A Vibrant Community Defining the Future

Beyond the code and technological achievements, the Xen Project’s strength lies in its vibrant community. It’s a community that has come together to celebrate successes, overcome challenges, and collectively shape the future of open-source virtualization technology. Even to this day, community contributions and reviews are still going!
