I am in charge of a workshop happening at CMU with 21 guests currently registered.
It will be on using QEMU/KVM, coding inside those codebases, using libvirt, and possibly OpenStack. We will have several talks during the day on how people have used QEMU + KVM in their own research, tips and tricks, best practices they've come across, and any stumbling blocks encountered. At the end of the workshop we will have tutorial sessions on just using QEMU/KVM (possibly in conjunction with libvirt) and also benchmarking with these systems etc. If you're in the Pittsburgh area, and would like to attend, please feel free to contact me. Breakfast and lunch would be included, and currently registration is free. -- Wolf
