> =================================================================
> 
> KVM Forum is an annual event that presents a rare opportunity
> for developers and users to meet, discuss the state of Linux
> virtualization technology, and plan for the challenges ahead. 
> We invite you to lead part of the discussion by submitting a speaking
> proposal for KVM Forum 2016.
> 
> At this highly technical conference, developers driving innovation
> in the KVM virtualization stack (Linux, KVM, QEMU, libvirt) can
> meet users who depend on KVM as part of their offerings, or to
> power their data centers and clouds.
> 
> KVM Forum will include sessions on the state of the KVM
> virtualization stack, planning for the future, and many
> opportunities for attendees to collaborate. As we celebrate ten years
> of KVM development in the Linux kernel, KVM continues to be a
> critical part of the FOSS cloud infrastructure.
> 
> This year, KVM Forum is joining LinuxCon and ContainerCon in Toronto, 
> Canada. Selected talks from KVM Forum will be presented on Wednesday
> August 24 to the full audience of LinuxCon and ContainerCon. Also,
> attendees of KVM Forum will have access to all of the LinuxCon and
> ContainerCon talks on Wednesday.

> SUBMITTING YOUR PROPOSAL
> ===============
> Abstracts due: May 1, 2016
> 
> Please submit a short abstract (~150 words) describing your presentation
> proposal. Slots vary in length up to 45 minutes. Also include the proposal
> type -- one of:
> - technical talk
> - end-user talk
> 
> Submit your proposal here:
> http://events.linuxfoundation.org/cfp
> Please only use the categories "presentation" and "panel discussion"
> 
> You will receive a notification whether or not your presentation proposal
> was accepted by May 27, 2016.
> 
> Speakers will receive a complimentary pass for the event. In the instance
> that your submission has multiple presenters, only the primary speaker for a
> proposal will receive a complementary event pass. For panel discussions, all
> panelists will receive a complimentary event pass.
> 
> TECHNICAL TALKS
> 
> A good technical talk should not just report on what has happened over
> the last year; it should present a concrete problem and how it impacts
> the user and/or developer community. Whenever applicable, focus on
> work that needs to be done, difficulties that haven't yet been solved,
> and on decisions that other developers should be aware of. Summarizing
> recent developments is okay but it should not be more than a small
> portion of the overall talk.
> 
> END-USER TALKS
> 
> One of the big challenges as developers is to know what, where and how
> people actually use our software. We will reserve a few slots for end
> users talking about their deployment challenges and achievements.
> 
> If you are using KVM in production you are encouraged submit a speaking
> proposal. Simply mark it as an end-user talk. As an end user, this is a
> unique opportunity to get your input to developers.
> 
> HANDS-ON / BOF SESSIONS
> 
> We will reserve some time for people to get together and discuss
> strategic decisions as well as other topics that are best solved within
> smaller groups.
> 
> These sessions will be announced during the event. If you are interested
> in organizing such a session, please add it to the list at
> 
>   http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM_Forum_2016_BOF
> 
> Let people you think might be interested know about it, and encourage
> them to add their names to the wiki page as well. Please try to
> add your ideas to the list before KVM Forum starts.
> 
> 
> PANEL DISCUSSIONS
> 
> If you are proposing a panel discussion, please make sure that you list
> all of your potential panelists in your abstract. We will request full
> biographies if a panel is accepted.
