Aland Adams has asked me to forward this Call For Papers for the
Virtualization Mini Summit collocated with Ottawa Linux Symposium, July
23-26. I suspect many of the same talk proposals that have been
submitted to Xen Summit would also be welcome at this event.
Best,
Ian
Virtualization Mini Summit, linuxsymposium 2008
==============================================
Topics
The intent of the Virtualization MiniSummit is to provide a forum for
attendees to explore all aspects of Linux virtualization. Whether that
be the underlying technology, application of the technology in their
environment or new tools for managing and doing interesting and new
things with virtualized servers.

using virtualization, managing virtualized environments to wanting to
learn more about virtualization.
A potential list of topics:
* Review and/or provide deep insight into the fundamentals of
specific virtualization technologies

* How virtualized environments can be made manageable
* What''s worked and what has not worked
* New and emerging ideas for virtualizing Linux systems
