Xen Project is pleased to announce that our next user event will take place at SCALE 14X in Pasedena, CA on January 22, 2016.

What's It All About?

The Unikernels and More: Cloud Innovators Forum (aka CIF16) is an event sponsored by the Xen Project which will highlight some of the newest technologies for virtualization, containers, and the cloud. The Xen Project ecosystem is filled with interesting innovations which will seriously shape the next generation of the cloud.

Who Should Attend?

CIF16 is for users who want to peer over the next horizon in computing. We are bringing together some of the most interesting technologies into one room for one day at the largest community-run Open Source conference in North America (SCALE). You don't need to be a developer or hardcore geek to benefit from this event. All you need is an interest in the future of our industry.

Call For Participation

This is your opportunity to discuss what you've done before your peers in the industry. Have you deployed a Unikernel? Are you working with an embedded hypervisor? Or maybe you have ideas how to handle transient microservices in the cloud?

Well, this is your chance to tell others about it!

Do you have something FOSS project or solution which will impact the future of cloud or virtualization? Send us a talk proposal by December 19 and you might find yourself on the schedule!

Possible areas of interest include:

  • Unikernels, containers, and other small, portable cloud payloads
  • Non-traditional use of hypervisors in automobiles, trains, network devices, and other embedded situations
  • Modifications to cloud orchestration to handle ultra-small workloads, transcient microservices, or any other new concepts
  • Changes to existing cloud concepts to facilitate the Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Anything else new which will change the future of virtualization and the cloud

So send us your talk proposal and let us know what you've done!
