Call for Participation

The scope for this devroom is open source, openly-developed projects in 
the areas of virtualisation and IaaS type clouds, ranging from low level 
to data center, up to cloud management platforms and cloud resource 
orchestration.

Sessions should always target a developer audience. Bonus points for 
collaborative sessions that would be appealing to developers from 
multiple projects.

We are particularly interested in the following themes:
- low level virtualisation aspects
- new features in classic and container-based virtualisation
   technologies
- new use cases for virtualisation, such as virtualisation in mobile,
   automotive and embedded in general
- other resource virtualisation technologies: networking, storage, …
- deep technical dives into specific IaaS or virtualisation management
   projects features
- relationship between IaaS projects and specific dependencies (not
   just virtualisation)
- integration and development leveraging solutions from multiple
   projects
