<div>= KVM Forum 2011 =<br />
= Vancouver Canada, August 15-16, 2011 =<br />
The KVM Forum 2011 will be held <br />
at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver in Vancouver, Canada on August 15-16, 2011. We will be co-located with LinuxCon North America 2011<br />

<br />
== Scope ==<br />
KVM is an industry leading open source hypervisor that provides an ideal<br />
platform for datacenter virtualization, virtual desktop infrastructure,<br />
and cloud computing. Once again, it's time to bring together the<br />
community of developers and users that define the KVM ecosystem for<br />
our annual technical conference. We will discuss the current state of<br />
affairs and plan for the future of KVM, its surrounding infrastructure,<br />
and management tools. So mark your calendar and join us in advancing KVM.<br />

=== Submission Requirements ===<br />
<br />
Abstracts due: May 16th, 2011<br />
Notification: May 31th, 2011<br />
<br />
Please submit a short abstract (~150 words) describing your presentation<br />
proposal. In your submission please note how long your talk will take.<br />
Slots vary in length up to 45 minutes. Also include in your proposal<br />
the proposal type -- one of:<br />
<br />
* technical talk<br />
* end-user talk<br />
* BOF (birds of a feather) session<br />
<br />
===Submit your proposal here===<br />
<br />

<br />
You will receive a notification whether or not your presentation proposal<br />
was accepted by May 31st.<br />
<br />
== Registration ==<br />
<br />
Please visit this page to register:<br />

http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum/register<br />
<br />
== Hotel and Travel ==<br />
Please see the LinuxCon North America page for details on hotels and travel.<br />
<br />
== End-User Collaboration ==<br />
<br />
One of the big challenges as developers is to know what, where and how<br />
people actually use our software. We will reserve a few slots for end<br />
users talking about their deployment challenges and achievements.<br />
<br />
If you are using KVM in production you are encouraged submit a speaking<br />
proposal. Simply mark it as an end-user collaboration proposal. As and<br />
end user, this is a unique opportunity to get your input to developers.<br />
<br />
== BOF Session ==<br />
<br />
We will reserve some slots in the evening after the main conference<br />
tracks, for birds of a feather sessions. These sessions will be less<br />
formal than presentation tracks and targetted for people who would<br />
like to discuss specific issues with other developers and/or users.<br />
If you are interested in getting developers and/or uses together to<br />
discuss a specific problem, please submit a BOF proposal.<br />
<br />
== Lightning Talks ==<br />
<br />
In addition to submitted talks we will also have some room for lightning<br />
talks. So if you have something you think might be done until the KVM<br />
Forum, but you're not sure you could fill 15 minutes with it. Or if you<br />
don't know if you'll make it until there, just keep in mind that you<br />
will still get the chance to talk about it. Lightning talk submissions<br />
and scheduling will be handled on-site at KVM Forum.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your interest in KVM. We're looking forward to your<br />
submissions and seeing you at the KVM Forum 2011 in August!</div>Jsorensenhttps://linux-kvm.org/index.php?title=KVMForum2011CFP&diff=3525KVMForum2011CFP2011-04-21T12:03:24Z<p>Jsorensen: </p>

<hr />
<div>= Possibilities for KVM Forum 2011=<br />
A couple of options have been discussed for a KVM Forum 2011. This page will list the currently discussed options to make it easier to compare and continue discussing the options.<br />
<br />
'''Note that nothing on this page is decided, this is purely for discussion purposes!'''<br />
<br />
== Type of conference ==<br />
Two types of conference have been proposed so far:<br />
<br />
=== KVM Forum 2011 ===<br />
Keep the old conference format as a KVM only event. This would most likely be a single track running over 2 or possibly 3 days. Estimate for number of attendees for this event would be around 80-100. This is based on KVM Forum 2010 numbers.<br />
<br />
=== Open Source Virtualization 2011 ===<br />
Create a broader conference focusing on the entire Open Source Virtualization stack. This would be a multi-track conference running over 2 or 3 days. Estimate for number of attendees for this event would be 200-250 (this is a guess).<br />
<br />
Subjects could include:<br />
* KVM<br />
* QEMU<br />
* Management tools<br />
* libvirt<br />
* Guest agents<br />
* Other relevant topics<br />
<br />
The format for this event could be a two track conference running over two days, structured like this (example):<br />
<br />
{|border=1<br />
| '''Day''' || '''Track 1''' || '''Track 2'''<br />
|-<br />
| 1 || KVM || libvirt<br />
|-<br />
| 2 || QEMU || Management tools & Agents<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Venues ==<br />
In order to keep cost down, the ideal solution would be to co-locate the conference with another Open Source conference. If we decide to co-locate with the Linux Foundation, there are two options.<br />
<br />
=== Vancouver in August ===<br />
The 3rd Annual LinuxCon North America is scheduled for August 17 - 19, 2011 - Vancouver, Canada. According to the Linux Foundation space is available and fairly unlimited for our requirements, whether we decide to for for a KVM Forum style conference or a larger Virtualization conference.<br />
<br />
Cost is lower as conference rooms are cheaper/free, and the KVM or Virt conference could be run prior to LinuxCon with no overlap.<br />
<br />
=== Prague in October ===<br />
The 1st Annual LinuxCon Europe is scheduled for October 26 - 28, 2011 - Prague, Czech Republic. LinuxCon Europe is also co-located with the Kernel Summit (October 24-26), the Linux Embedded Conference and possibly another event. <br />
<br />
Space is limited and we would not be able to get room for more than 170 people, max, which we would probably rule out a larger Virtualization conference. In addition we only be able to get rooms for either 24-25 which would overlap with Kernel Summit, or 27-28 which would overlap with LinuxCon.<br />
<br />
Note that in addition the room cost is higher in Prague.<br />
<br />
=== Independent hosting ===<br />
The third alternative would be to host the conference independent of the Linux Foundation events, which would mean we cannot benefit from the help we would get from LF, plus cost would be significantly higher.</div>Jsorensenhttps://linux-kvm.org/index.php?title=KVMForum2011CFP&diff=3428KVMForum2011CFP2010-12-07T16:14:43Z<p>Jsorensen: </p>

<div>== Kernel Based Virtual Machine ==<br />
<br />
KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although work is underway to get the required changes upstream. <br />
<br />
Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.<br />
<br />
The kernel component of KVM is included in mainline Linux, as of 2.6.20.<br />
<br />
KVM is open source software.<br />

<div>=Information from Linux Plumbers Conference 2010=<br />
The Linux Plumbers Conference 2010 was held in Cambridge, MA, November 3-5. The Virtualization Micro Conference was held on Thursday November 4th, including a number of presentations relevant for KVM.<br />
<br />
The presentations, as well as the notes taken during the presentations are available at the [http://wiki.linuxplumbersconf.org/2010:virtualization LPC2010 Virt Wiki] page.</div>Jsorensen
