Call for volunteers: LWN.net articles about KVM Forum talks

Call for volunteers: LWN.net articles about KVM Forum talks

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Hi,
LWN.net is a popular open source news site that covers Linux and other
open source communities (Python, GNOME, Debian, etc).  It has published
a few KVM articles in the past too.

Let's raise awareness of QEMU, KVM, and libvirt by submitting articles covering
KVM Forum.

I am looking for ~5 volunteers who are attending KVM Forum to write an article
about a talk they find interesting.

Please pick a talk you'd like to cover and reply to this email thread.
I will then send an email to LWN with a heads-up so they can let us know
if they are interested in publishing a KVM Forum special.  I will not
ask LWN.net for money.

KVM Forum schedule:
https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum-2019/program/schedule/

LWN.net guidelines:
https://lwn.net/op/AuthorGuide.lwn
"Our general guideline is for articles to be around 1500 words in
length, though somewhat longer or shorter can work too. The best
articles cover a fairly narrow topic completely, without any big
omissions or any extra padding."

I volunteer to cover Michael Tsirkin's "VirtIO without the Virt -
Towards Implementations in Hardware" talk.

Thanks,
Stefan

I think it might make sense to cover "Managing Matryoshkas: Testing
Nested Guests" (Marc Hartmayer) and "Nesting&testing" (Vitaly
Kuznetsov) in one article, and I volunteer for that.

Hi Stefano,
Paolo has already volunteered for that.  Is there another talk you are
interested in covering?

Hi Stefan,
another talk I'm interested in is "Making the Most of NBD" by Eric Blake &
Richard Jones.

I hope it's not already covered :-)

Cheers,
Stefano
