Proposals/abstracts can be submitted via the web portal. Though to be perfectly honest, for where HEKI is at from an upstream KVM perspective, and especially if you want to provide an update, then I think KVM Forum[2] would be a better fit. (I haven't seen an official announcment/CFP for KVM Forum, but the web site is live, so I assume it's a done deal). The most contentious aspects of HEKI are the guest changes, not the KVM changes. The KVM uAPI and guest ABI will require some discussion, but I don't anticipate those being truly hard problems to solve. And if you really want to get HEKI moving, I would advise you not wait until September to hash out the KVM side of things, e.g. I'd be more than happy to talk about HEKI in a PUCK[3] session.
