Introduction

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. This time can also be used for hands-on hacking sessions.

If you are interested in organizing such a group time event, please add it to the list before KVM Forum, so people have time to organize which one they will attend.

Adding links to this wiki is restricted. If you have problems adding your BoF, please send it to the program committee at kvm-forum-2017-pc@redhat.com.

Virtio 1.1

Summary: Discussion of current Virtio 1.1 draft proposal

Discussion about Virtio 1.1 has been going on for a while on mailing lists. One driver for a new version of the Virtio spec has been interest in a hardware implementation of virtio. Let's discuss this further and see if there's any further feedback and ideas.
