Developer Summit Program Announcement
We are aiming to publish the Xen Project Developer Summit program in
the/1st week of June/. People who have submitted talks, should get an
acceptance e-mail a week before.
Birds of a Feather Sessions & Discussion Groups
This year we will again have space for Birds of a Feather Sessions &
Discussion Groups. We will publish how you can request a BoF a little
bit closer to the event. In the meantime you should be aware of the
ground rules for BoFs:
* Each BoF host will get 3-5 minutes (depending on the number of BoFs
on the day) to pitch your BoF to the entire audience. Slides are not
allowed.
* After we publish the Xen Project Developer schedule, community
members that have registered for the summit can submit a request to
host a BoF (specifying a couple of slots in preference order)
* BoFs are small discussion groups, not presentations. You are
expected to take notes (or nominate an attendee to do so) and post
discussion notes on one of our mailing lists after the summit.
Developer Meeting
I am also pleased to announce that we will also be hosting a 1/2 day Xen
Project Developer Meeting the day after the Xen Project Developer
Summit. Spaces are limited: the event is open to all members of the
Developer Community. More details will follow soon.
