Xen at OpenStack Design Summit and Conference

Xen OpenStack LogoEvery 6 months the OpenStack community gets together to discuss plans for the next release. Next week in Boston will be the Essex Design Summit and Conference. Myself and Ewan Mellor will be representing Xen.org. If you want to get together next week and discuss anything related to Xen, XCP, or OpenStack, then do get in touch with me (todd.deshane@xen.org).
At the summit, I’ll be leading a session on Project Kronos. There will also be a session on XenServer and KVM feature parity.
At the conference, be sure to catch the talk that Ewan and I are presenting on the Xen.org initiatives related to OpenStack. Ewan is also on a couple panel sessions that you won’t want to miss.
This is a great chance to get your head back in the cloud. Hope to see you there!
