To Xen Community:
I have recently taken on the role of Program Manager for the Xen.org
community and am responsible for the website, Xen Summits, technology
promotion, and other various activities related the growth and well being of
the overall community. Please take the time to revisit Xen.org and review some
of the new content available including the Xen 3.3 Roadmap now posted. If you
have any questions on the community or would like to provide feedback please
send me an email at stephen.spector@xxxxxxxxxx
or join the newly formed xen-community@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
I have been working on several alternatives for the Spring 2008 Xen Summit and would like to
offer the community an opportunity to provide feedback. Citrix is going to
sponsor the Spring Summit and currently does not have the facilities capable of
supporting the event so I am considering hotels and convention centers. The
current sites being proposed are:
- April 9 – 10
or 10 – 11: Boston Sheraton Hotel (USA)
- April 14 – 15
: Vancouver Hyatt (Canada)
- Room rates at
$212.75 (includes tax)
- May 14 – 15: :
Boston John
Hynes Convention
Center (USA)
- No associated
hotel; will work to find several locations providing discounts
- May 29 – 30 : Vancouver Convention
Center (Canada)
- No associated
hotel; will work to find several locations providing discounts
I anticipate the 2 day event costing between $250 to $300 (US)
per person with the usual discounts in place for students. Besides the
technical sessions, we will also have an evening out on the first night to
ensure some good cheer is added to the event.
Please provide any feedback on these proposed locations and dates
directly to me at stephen.spector@xxxxxxxxxx
or xen-community@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
I will be posting the comments and final decision later this week or early next
week depending on the responses.
Thank you,
Stephen Spector
