2011 KVM Conference
- together with LF event like LinuxCon Vancouver BC (Aug), KS Prague (Nov)
- wider audience
- include qemu (tcg)
- include libvirt
- include xen

0.14.0 release plan
- could push things out, mainly want to keep on track for

infrastructure changes (irc channel migration, git tree migration)
- savannah down
- git.qemu.org was mirror, will start pushing there
- when savannah is back up, will become mirror (so git users should
still work)
- plan on moving #qemu to OFTC

nested VMX
- no progress, future plans are unclear

qemu users forum in grenoble
- worth having someone there
- goal to get embedded forks to push changes back to qemu

migration with large memory
- switching to 50ms cap likely to cause regression in terms of vcpu runtime
- 50ms qemu mutex contention, brief period of mutex access
- this has the effect of speeding up migration but giving too little vcpu
access to qemu mutex (network connections could terminate, for example)
- only fixes to this are to use bw limit or not holding qemu mutex during
mirgration
- run Anthony's test load and discuss on list
