and
Community War Stories

and now our Developer Summit is just round the corner. As we have seen
tremendous community growth in the last 12 months (>30%) and the most
feature reach Xen Project Hypervisor release coming up soon, I thought
I'd share what you can expect.
What to expect?
Xen Project Developer Summits are packed with highly technical content
where the core developers of the Xen Project community come together to
discuss the evolution of the Xen Project. The conference is a mixture of
talks and interactive sessions in un-conference format (which we call
BoFs). Newcomers and those who are interested in the progress and future
of the Xen Project, it's sub projects (Hypervisor on ARM and x86,
Upstreams and Downstreams, Embedded and Automotive variants, Cloud
Operating Systems such as Mirage OS) usually will get tremendous value
from attending the event.
Besides roadmap, feature updates and developer topics, this year
features a few themes:
* Network Function Virtualization
* Security
* Performance and Scalability
* Cloud Operating Systems
* Topics that are important for automotive/embedded/mobile use-cases,
such as Real-time virtualization, certification and ARM support

How to get the most out of the Summit?
Our developer events are designed to help you make connections and to
participate. A good way to network are our evening social event and to
network during the breaks. Another great way to get the most out of the
summit is to submit a BoF/discussion groups about a topic you care about
or to participate in a BoF/discussion group. BoF submissions
<http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/xen-project-developer-summit/program/bof>
are
open until August 11 and the BoF schedule will be published the week
before the event. Most of our talks will have an extensive and
interactive Q&A portion, which is another way to engage.
