Hi all, it's now December 1st, so the first door of the QEMU Advent Calendar 2016 can now be opened:
http://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/2016/#day-1 For the next 23 days, we are going to present a new disk image each day, so if you like, stop by regularly (I won't send a reminder each day). And yes, we still need more disk images to complete the run this year - if you are interested in contributing, please have a look at my original mail below.
