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. Thank you very much for the invite and the detailed instructions! I 'd be very glad to do this and will go ahead upon first chance. Fotis Stefan
