Xen BoF

(meta: hmm, I sure am posting a lot)

I’ve decided to do the Xen BoF again this year, after talking to William Pollock of No Starch Press about his plans for a book on Xen. I guess his author for the Xen book he had in production fell through, and now he is thinking of starting up a Wiki. Of course, a couple people recognized me from last year’s BoF, and wondered if there would be another. I really didn’t feel like doing the BoF thing again, it’s sorta stressful, but the gears started to turn, and I filled out a slot on the BoF schedule anyway. (9pm tonight, Washington 3).

Topics from brain storming:

  1. Distro support: XenSource (RHEL3), Debian, RHEL, Fedora, Suse

  2. Management tools
  3. Features, what have people used? 64/32-bit, migration, LVM vs. loop back, imaging, fail over
  4. Resources: mailing lists, blogs, wikis, forums
  5. Hints & Tips in general
  6. OS’s you’ve virtualized: Windows, Linux distros, OSX, BSD, etc.
