*Celebrating Two Decades of Innovation*

It’s hard to believe that two decades have passed since the inception of
the Xen Project, a trailblazing force in the world of open-source
virtualization. As we raise our glasses to commemorate this momentous
occasion, it’s not just a celebration of time but a reflection on the
incredible journey that has defined the Xen Project’s legacy.

*A Legacy of Innovation*

In the year 2003, the Xen Project emerged as a pioneering open-source
hypervisor, laying the groundwork for some of the most influential cloud
infrastructures that shape our digital landscape today. Over the past 20
years, the Xen Project has not only endured but has thrived, continuously
evolving to meet the dynamic demands of the ever-changing tech landscape.

*Driving Technological Frontiers*

From data center and server virtualization to cloud computing, desktop
virtualization, and fortifying desktop security and hardware appliances,
the Xen Project has been at the forefront of driving technological
innovation. With 20 years of relentless development, it has become
synonymous with reliability, scalability, and adaptability.

*Venturing into New Horizons*

As we celebrate this milestone, we also look forward to the exciting new
territories that the Xen Project is venturing into. From embedded
virtualization to even making strides in the automotive industry, the Xen
Project continues to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible in the
world of open-source virtualization.

*The Annual Event: Xen Project Developer and Design Summit*

At the heart of this remarkable journey is the Xen Project Developer and
Design Summit, an annual gathering of the community’s brilliant minds and
power users. More than just a conference, it’s a celebration of idea
exchange, a showcase of the latest advancements, a platform for sharing
invaluable experiences, and a forum for strategic planning and
collaborative efforts. Be sure to look out for our upcoming event in 2024.

*A Vibrant Community Defining the Future*

Beyond the code and technological achievements, the Xen Project’s strength
lies in its vibrant community. It’s a community that has come together to
celebrate successes, overcome challenges, and collectively shape the future
of open-source virtualization technology. Even to this day, community
contributions and reviews are still going!

*Looking Ahead*

As we commemorate 20 years of innovation, we also eagerly anticipate the
next chapter in the Xen Project’s journey. With gratitude for the past and
excitement for the future, we extend our deepest thanks to everyone who has
contributed to this incredible legacy.

Here’s to 20 years of pushing boundaries, fostering collaboration, and
shaping the digital landscape.

Happy anniversary, Xen Project! The best is yet to come and I can’t wait to
see what we all achieve.

Many thanks,
Kelly Choi
