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

* Discussion of ideas to improve virtualization technologies
* How virtualized environments can be made manageable
* What's worked and what has not worked
