Xavier, please put a "Next Speaker? block on the web site like you did for Mike Paoli?
Just thought would let you see things are still moving ahead.
Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day Holiday!

Larry,
For an upcoming BALUG meeting, I thought you may be interested in having XenSource (www.xensource.com http://www.xensource.com/ ) present on "Enterprise Grade Virtualization with Open Source Technologies". XenSource was founded by the creators of the Open Source Xen hypervisor. Xen is Open Source software, released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
Below is an abstract for your consideration. If you have questions or would like to discuss scheduling a presentation, please let me know.
I can be reached at 650-947-7400 or heather@mindsharepr.com.
Thank you.
Best regards, Heather
Abstract: Virtualization is a new and hot item to the world of Linux and Windows. There have been, however, virtualization technologies for over 40 years starting with the IBM emulators for mainframes and later with the CP67 and VM virtualizing operating systems.
Open Source operating systems like Linux offer the potential to make virtualization fast, easy and a commodity by introducing the required changes into the OS as part of the standard kernel. Fast virtualization with a low overhead, furthermore makes it possible for the first time to use it in production environments (rather than just test and development).
Xen, the leading Open Source virtualization technology has quickly become a standard adopted by many leading ISVs to build comprehensive data center efficiency and management solutions. This session will provide an overview of Xen and discuss best practices for deploying it to achieve enterprise grade virtualization.
