End-User Collaboration
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 collaboration proposal. As and end user, this is a unique opportunity to get your input to developers.
BOF Session
We will reserve some slots in the evening after the main conference tracks, for birds of a feather sessions. These sessions will be less formal than presentation tracks and targetted for people who would like to discuss specific issues with other developers and/or users. If you are interested in getting developers and/or uses together to discuss a specific problem, please submit a BOF proposal.
Lightning Talks
In addition to submitted talks we will also have some room for lightning talks. These are short (5 minute) discussions to highlight new work or ideas that aren't complete enough to warrant a full presentation slot. Lightning talk submissions and scheduling will be handled on-site at KVM Forum.
Submission Requirements
Abstracts due: May 16th, 2011 Notification: May 31th, 2011
Please submit a short abstract (~150 words) describing your presentation proposal. In your submission please note how long your talk will take. Slots vary in length up to 45 minutes. Also include in your proposal the proposal type -- one of:

- BOF (birds of a feather) session
