I would like to attend if there is a slot still available.
I could request only after knowing for sure I would be able
to travel.

I have been working mostly with our server h/w folks lately and it would
be nice to see some of our upcoming challenges discussed at the mini-summit.

1. CPU power management
	- CPU consolidation strategy (getting work done on fewer CPUs) 
	- scheduler issues

2. Memory power management 
	- Strategies for upcoming technologies

3. I/O power management through hotplug

4. Overall server power management
	- Per-subsystem control vs global powersave modes

5. Power management in virtuaized environment
	- #1/#2/#3 in virtualized environment
	- OS-KVM/Xen interaction needed for it

Thanks
