Transport Information

This map shows you the relative positions of the Intel campus, recommended hotels and key sights within Shanghai.

Buses from hotels to the Intel Campus

We will be organising a bus service from the recommended hotels (see above) to the Intel site in the morning and the evening. Exact pick-up and return times will be published later.

Other ways to get to the Intel Campus

Taxi's in Shanghai are relatively cheap. You are looking at a cost of around $20-$25 for a 1-1.5 hour taxi ride of about 30-35 km's. There is no easy way to get to the Intel site by public transport. Should you chose to use a taxi or chose to stay in a different hotel to those recommended, please make sure you organise the taxi with the concierge at your hotel. Printing out a map of the Intel site's location and the address in Chinese as well as your hotel address also helps.

Reference distances to the Intel site:

  • The Bund : 38 km's - approximately 1.5 hours
  • Pudong : 40 km's - approximately 1.5 hours
  • Recommended hotels in Hongqiao : 27 km's - approximately 1 hour

Getting from the airport to the Hotels and vice versa

To get from the airport to one of the recommended hotels, you can take a taxi. It is about a 50 km drive and will take 1-1.5 hours depending on the day of time. It will cost around $25-$30. Make sure to go to the airport's taxi stand and do *not* use one of the offers for a taxi when you come out of the gate. These are normally limousine services which will cost you several times more than a regular taxi. You should also print out the name and a map of the hotel, just in case.

Alternatively, you can use public transport: see the following map

Taxi's in Shanghai

Taxi's in Shanghai are relatively cheap. For more information see the Travel China Guide

Visa Invitation Letters

If you require an invitation, please send an e-mail to community dot manager at xenproject dot org. You should leave make sure that you have at least 2 weeks to organise a visa with your local Chinese Embassy after you have received the visa invitation letter. Please provide the following information:

Personal Information

  • Name (needs to be your full name as written in your passport, including middle names)
  • Gender
  • Date of birth
  • Nationality
  • Passport number
  • Full name of the company which you work for
  • Job title

Other Information

  • Date of arrival and leaving - note that you need a full itinerary in the visa application, but that in practice after you received the visa modifications to the schedule without notifying the Chinese Embassy is OK
  • State your role in the Xen Project Community
  • You will need to state who will bear the cost of travel to/from China and your accommodation in China

We will be processing invitation letters from the first week of March. Note that you do need to provide hotel information, when you apply for a Chinese visa. General information about receiving visa's to China can be found [http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/require

Security Vulnerability Process

IRC channel for project: #xen-devel
Difficulty: N/A
Skills Needed: N/A
Description: I am seriously concerned about the reputation of the project. With security being such a hot topic these days, our transparent approach to

security vulnerabilities is impacting our reputation negatively. Even for news coverage where there didn't used to be a security angle, the press finds one (e.g. [1]). If you look at publicly available information the Xen stats do not look very good (e.g. [2] & [3]), but when you look in detail we actually do a lot better. However, this does not help the emerging perception that the project has a bad track record when it comes to security. I am wondering whether presenting the information on the xsa page better, or whether some sort of classification (aka marking security bugs against supported/supported features and/or platforms aka x86/arm and/or PV/HVM etc) may help manage the situation better. Right now everything is put into one big bucket, which compared with kvm/linux (where there is no single bucket as there is no

real process) leaves us more readily attackable.
Outcomes: Not specified, project outcomes

I want to attend

Request an Invitation

In previous years we have requested for attendees to fill out a form and request an invitation. This was overly complicated, so we will revert back to a simpler approach. Please add your name to the list below.

  • If you are a maintainer or otherwise a core member of the community, just add yourself to the Confirmed Attendees section stating your name and
  • If you are not a maintainer add yourself the Request invitation. If your email address is not known in the Xen Community, please also add the name of your employer and send your e-mail address to community dot manager at xenproject dot org using "Request for Hackathon 2015 Invite" as subject line. This is important, such that we can e-mail more information to you. We will monitor this page and confirm whether we have space for you to attend.

IMPORTANT: The cut-off date for registrations is April 12th.

Please read the text in the warning box below: it contains more detailed instructions.

Icon Ambox.png To edit this page and thus to Request an Invitation, you need to be added to the wiki's editors group. To be added to that group:
  • If you do not have a wiki account, please create one by using this link. Write down your user name (we cannot look up user names from e-mail addresses)
  • Please fill out this form (note: this form does not work in China)
  • If you cannot access the form, please send an email to community.manager at xenproject.org requesting that you need wiki access.

Request invitation

  1. Add your name and org here - optionally you may also want to state the hotel you are staying at

Confirmed attendees

Icon Info.png Important note:
  • We have a maximum of 50 spaces
  • The cut-off for registration is April the 12th, as we need to organise transport from the hotel, food, security passes, etc.
