Now Accepting Submissions Through May 6

We’re excited to announce the call for speaking proposals for Xen Project Developer Summit 2016, which will be held in Toronto, Canada, August 25-26, 2016. The Xen Project Developer Summit brings together the Xen Project’s community of developers and power users for their annual developer conference. The summit will be co-located with a number of other events, including LinuxCon, ContainerCon, KVM Forum and Linux Security Summit.
To get a sense of past accepted submissions, check out last years presentations. Accepted speakers will be notified by May 27th. The schedule will be announced on June 3rd.

Birds of a Feather Sessions & Discussion Groups

This year, we will again have space for Birds of a Feather Sessions & Discussion Groups, which are in-depth interactive discussions that allow for collaboration between Xen Project developers and community members. We will publish how you can request a BoF closer to the event. In the meantime, here are the ground rules 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 before the Xen Project Developer Summit (space is limited). The event is open to all members of the Developer Community. More details will follow soon.

Where to stay at the summit

Discounted hotels are listed at the event website at the price of CAD $209.00 per night. Reservations have to be made by July 29th. We are sharing a room block with other Linux Foundation events, so please book early.
