Do you have an interesting use case around Xen Project technology or best practices around the community? There’s a wide variety of topics we are looking for, including cloud, server virtualization, unikernels, automotive, security, embedded environments, network function virtualization (NFV), and more. You can find all the suggested topics for presentations and panels here (make sure you select the Topics tab).
Several formats are being accepted for speaking proposals, including:

  • Presentations and panels
  • Interactive design and problem solving sessions. These sessions can be submitted as part of the CFP, but we will reserve a number of design sessions to be allocated during the event.
      • Proposers of design sessions are expected to host and moderate design sessions following the format we have used at Xen Project Hackathons. If you have not participated in these in the past, check out past event reports from 2016, 2015 and 2013.
