You are welcome to write a guest post on the QEMU blog
(https://qemu.org/blog/) that gives an overview of OSv and the virtio-fs
device interface. I imagine people would be interested in learning about
both these topics.

The git repo for the QEMU website and blog is here:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu-web

You can create a new blog post by dropping a Markdown file into _posts/.
Images can be added to screenshots/ directory.

The blog post can be sent to the QEMU mailing list using
git-send-email(1) with Thomas Huth <[email protected]> CCed. Please also
CC [email protected] and we'll review it.
