Folks, OLS is fast approaching. There is a session on virtualization at the Kernel Summit, with Keir and Zach invited, which will probably last an hour(?). There is also a Xen BoF currently scheduled (Thursday, 7/20, 7:00PM) which will cover Xen specific issues. And there are approximately 3 or 4 paper presentations on related subjects. None of the above are going to allow for adequate time to discuss and make forward progress on the virtualization API in the kernel. Given that everybody who is interested in getting a virtualization API into the mainline Linux kernel is on this list, I'd like to propose here an additional session (Virtualization BoF) to cover specifically virtualization API merge issues. Would the interested parties agree to get together and spend time pushing this to some sort of successful track? I'll organize, if so. What is the current state of mainline inclusion? Is there a set of tasks/patches/timetable that we can agree to prior to KS/OLS? I'm hoping so..and when Rusty gets back have him pitch in on the state of his patches.. Chris? What's happening with the Xen patches? I know Rusty needed to farm out some of the work to get done before OLS - any volunteers? We'd like to put up a tasklist, if there isn't already one. Ditto a wiki page. Thoughts, folks? thanks, Nivedita
