2013 Xen event plan's : Call for Input/Action

Hi everybody,

_*Next Xen Hackathon*__*- vote on date/location needed*_
I have been working with a still to be disclosed vendor on a Xen 
Hackathon to be hosted in spring. The following options are on the table

  * Option 1: May 16/17, Dublin, Ireland (preferred by vendor)
  * Option 2: 2 days in February 11-14, Munich - note that FOSDEM is Feb
    2 & 3
  * Option 3: 2 days in March 18-22, Munich

Given that we had a Hackathon in Munich already and that I know that 
quite a few Xen devs (including me) are on vacation in the middle of 
March, my preference would be option 1. But I still wanted to put this 
to you to get a community view.

_*XenSummit EU*__*, Oct 2013
*_I just signed the contracts to host XenSummit the week of Oct 21-25 at 
the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. The exact dates are still 
to be decided. That time coincides with the 10th birthday of Xen 
depending on how one counts: the 1.0 release was on Oct 2nd 2003, SOSP 
2003 where Xen was presented was October 21 2003.

_*XenSummit US or Asia, April-June 2013*_
Given that the EU summit is some time away, it would make sense to host 
a XenSummit in either the US or Asia in late spring or early summer. 
Time-frame wise I was thinking of April to June, which should fit well 
with the Xen 4.3 release. The only problem is that there is no bigger 
event we could co-locate with. So I can only do this at a) significant 
cost to Xen.org or b) if a vendor in the community who has space to host 
100-200 people and is based in the US or Asia would volunteer to provide 
their premises for a 2 day event. If you work for a vendor who can 
accomodate us, and you would be interested in hosting, please get in 
touch with me.

Best Regards
Lars
