So I was wondering, we did not get that much of a response about this
(or perhaps we did, but not in public, in which case, ignore me).

I know, holidays are not helping, etc. but, anyway, should we turn this
e-mail into a blog post to send out in early January? I'm up for it if
we think it's a good thing to do.

Regards,
Dario

It is probably the holidays: I know that Cloudious Systems (the makers 
of OSv) are interested showing OSv running on top of Xen and so do the 
XO guys.

A blog post could be a good idea (tying it up with the DevRoom program, 
which has not yet been published).
Another approach would be to reach out pro-actively to people we want to 
do demos (e.g. Samsung, people/projects with RT schedulers, ...). 
Unfortunuately I will struggle to do this given that I am in China.

Regards
Lars

Ok. I checked this out earlier today, and the program for Saturday is
out... Still waiting for Sunday.

As soon as that will be available, I think, as you suggest, we should
blog about these two things, i.e.:

 - the devroom program
 - the chance of showing demos at the booth (mentioning which ones we 
   already know will be performed)

Right. I did that for Qubes, and it worked, as it did for OSv. I'll try
to ping some more people directly, let's see how that goes.

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
