[Xen-users] Xen Summit #5 : November 14-16; FINAL Call for Presentation Proposals
Folks, The official deadline for presentation proposals has now passed, and the programme committee is about to start work assembling the programme. However, we''re intending to hold back committing on a few presentation slots to allow for any high-quality late submissions. In particular, there are quite a few Xen dev projects I know about that aren''t currently represented, so I''d encourage folk to come forward with presentations that give a status update. More papers describing real-world xen deployments or performance data would be great too. Please send your proposals through to the summit-talks@xensource.com alias ASAP and before Mon 22 Oct. The registration site is now on-line, so you can start to register and book hotel rooms at the reduced rate etc. http://www.regonline.com/156148 Hope to see you at the summit! Thanks, Ian Xen Summit #5 : November 14-16, Santa Clara CA ============================================= Sun Microsystems have kindly agreed to host and sponsor the next Xen Summit, which will be held from the afternoon of Weds 14 November to midday on Fri 16 on the Sun campus in Santa Clara, California.
