The final installment of the History of Xen – Architecture involves the ultimate question, where does the name “Xen” come from? It is clear that Xen comes from the XenoServer project at Cambridge which is the research that the Xen hypervisor emerged from. The name “Xeno” for the XenoServer project is
Attention, Attention, Attention. The Xen Summit Program Committee for the Boston event in June (23 – 24) is busy reviewing submitted topics and is waiting for your proposal. We are actively putting together the agenda and would like nothing more than to have you as a speaker. This is your chance

For those of you writing documents that are intended to be from the Xen.org community, I have created a new About Xen.org treatment for you to leverage. The following text is currently proposed: About Xen.org. Xen.org is the home of the open source Xen® hypervisor, a
The Xen.org community will have a booth (#210) at the joint LinuxWorld / Next Generation Data Center event held in San Francisco, August 5- 7 at the Moscone Center. The booth will be staffed by myself as well as community members with spare time during the event. If you
Being somewhat new to the Xen community, just my third month in the community, I want to make every effort I can to meet with people who are directly or indirectly supporting the Xen initiative. I will be posting my travel schedule on this blog to allow members the opportunity
Xen Community: As part of the Xen Summit at USENIX Technical Conference in Boston this June, we have the opportunity to run a full day Xen training session (xen-summit-training-overview.txt). I am looking for one or two volunteers who would like to organize and run this full day training sessions.
