This highly technical conference unites the developers who drive KVM development and the users who depend on KVM as part of their offerings, or to power their data centers and clouds. Sessions include updates on the state of the KVM virtualization stack, planning for the future, and many opportunities for attendees to collaborate. After more than ten years in the mainline kernel, KVM continues to be a critical part of the FOSS cloud infrastructure. Come join us in continuing to improve the KVM ecosystem. We understand that these are uncertain times and we are continuously monitoring the COVID-19/Novel Coronavirus situation. Our attendees' safety is of the utmost importance. If we feel it is not safe to meet in person, we will turn the event into a virtual experience. We hope to announce this at the same time as the speaker notification. Speakers will still be expected to attend if a physical event goes ahead, but we understand that exceptional circumstances might arise after speakers are accepted and we will do our best to accommodate such circumstances. Based on these factors, we encourage you to submit and reach out to us should you have any questions. The program committee may be contacted as a group via email: kvm-forum-2020-pc@redhat.com. SUGGESTED TOPICS ---------------- * Scaling, latency optimizations, performance tuning * Hardening and security * New features * Testing KVM and the Linux Kernel: * Nested virtualization * Resource management (CPU, I/O, memory) and scheduling * VFIO: IOMMU, SR-IOV, virtual GPU, etc. * Networking: Open vSwitch, XDP, etc. * virtio and vhost * Architecture ports and new processor features QEMU: * Management interfaces: QOM and QMP * New devices, new boards, new architectures * New storage features * High availability, live migration and fault tolerance * Emulation and TCG * Firmware: ACPI, UEFI, coreboot, U-Boot, etc. Management & Infrastructure * Managing KVM: Libvirt, OpenStack, oVirt, KubeVirt, etc. * Storage: Ceph, Gluster, SPDK, etc. * Network Function Virtualization: DPDK, OPNFV, OVN, etc. * Provisioning SUBMITTING YOUR PROPOSAL ------------------------ Abstracts due: June 15, 2020 Please submit a short abstract (~150 words) describing your presentation proposal. Slots vary in length up to 45 minutes. Submit your proposal here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kvm-forum/program/cfp/ Please only use the categories "presentation" and "panel discussion" You will receive a notification whether or not your presentation proposal was accepted by August 17, 2020. Speakers will receive a complimentary pass for the event. In case your submission has multiple presenters, only the primary speaker for a proposal will receive a complimentary event pass. For panel discussions, all panelists will receive a complimentary event pass. TECHNICAL TALKS A good technical talk should not just report on what has happened over the last year; it should present a concrete problem and how it impacts the user and/or developer community. Whenever applicable, focus on work that needs to be done, difficulties that haven't yet been solved, and on decisions that other developers should be aware of. Summarizing recent developments is okay but it should not be more than a small portion of the overall talk. END-USER TALKS One of the big challenges as developers is to know what, where and how people actually use our software. We will reserve a few slots for end users talking about their deployment challenges and achievements. If you are using KVM in production you are encouraged submit a speaking proposal. Simply mark it as an end-user talk. As an end user, this is a unique opportunity to get your input to developers. PANEL DISCUSSIONS If you are proposing a panel discussion, please make sure that you list all of your potential panelists in your the abstract. We will request full biographies if a panel is accepted. HANDS-ON / BOF SESSIONS We will reserve some time for people to get together and discuss strategic decisions as well as other topics that are best solved within smaller groups. These sessions will be announced during the event. If you are interested in organizing such a session, please add it to the list at http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM_Forum_2020_BOF Let people you think who might be interested know about your BOF, and encourage them to add their names to the wiki page as well. Please add your ideas to the list before KVM Forum starts. HOTEL / TRAVEL -------------- This year's event will take place at the Conference Center Dublin. For information on hotels close to the conference, please visit https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kvm-forum/attend/venue-travel/.
