[Call for Presentations] FOSDEM 2024: Virt & IaaS Devroom
by Kashyap Chamarthy 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

[Cross-posted to KVM, Rust-VMM, QEMU, and libvirt lists) Hi, the CFP for the "Virt & IaaS" DevRoom is out[+]. Something new this year is a new talk-submission system: so you need to create a new account, even if you've had an account with the older talk-submission system. Details in the "Submit Your Proposal" section below. ======================================================================== We are excited to announce that the call for proposals is now open for the Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure devroom at the upcoming FOSDEM 2024, to be hosted on February 3rd 2024. This devroom is a collaborative effort, and is organized by dedicated folks from projects such as OpenStack, Xen Project, KubeVirt, QEMU, KVM, and Foreman. We would like to invite all those who are involved in these fields to submit your proposals by December 8th, 2023. Important Dates --------------- Submission deadline: 8th December 2023 Acceptance notifications: 10th December 2023 Final schedule announcement: 15th December 2023 Devroom: 3rd February 2024 About the Devroom ----------------- The Virtualization & IaaS devroom will feature session topics such as open source hypervisors or virtual machine managers such as Xen Project, KVM, bhyve and VirtualBox as well as Infrastructure-as-a-Service projects such as KubeVirt, Apache CloudStack, OpenStack, QEMU and OpenNebula. This devroom will host presentations that focus on topics of shared interest, such as KVM; libvirt; shared storage; virtualized networking; cloud security; clustering and high availability; interfacing with multiple hypervisors; hyperconverged deployments; and scaling across hundreds or thousands of servers. Presentations in this devroom will be aimed at developers working on these platforms who are looking to collaborate and improve shared infrastructure or solve common problems. We seek topics that encourage dialog between projects and continued work post-FOSDEM. Submit Your Proposal -------------------- All submissions must be made via the Pretalx event planning site[1]. It is a new submission system so you will need to create an account. If you submitted proposals for FOSDEM in previous years, you won’t be able to use your existing account. During submission please make sure to select Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure from the Track list. Please fill out all the required fields, and provide a meaningful abstract and description of your proposed session. Submission Guidelines --------------------- We expect more proposals than we can possibly accept, so it is vitally important that you submit your proposal on or before the deadline. Late submissions are unlikely to be considered. All presentation slots are 30 minutes, with 20 minutes planned for presentations, and 10 minutes for Q&A. All presentations will be recorded and made available under Creative Commons licenses. In the Submission notes field, please indicate that you agree that your presentation will be licensed under the CC-By-SA-4.0 or CC-By-4.0 license and that you agree to have your presentation recorded. For example: "If my presentation is accepted for FOSDEM, I hereby agree to license all recordings, slides, and other associated materials under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0 International License. Sincerely, <NAME>." In the Submission notes field, please also confirm that if your talk is accepted, you will be able to attend FOSDEM and deliver your presentation. We will not consider proposals from prospective speakers who are unsure whether they will be able to secure funds for travel and lodging to attend FOSDEM. (Sadly, we are not able to offer travel funding for prospective speakers.) Code of Conduct --------------- Following the release of the updated code of conduct for FOSDEM, we'd like to remind all speakers and attendees that all of the presentations and discussions in our devroom are held under the guidelines set in the CoC and we expect attendees, speakers, and volunteers to follow the CoC at all times. If you submit a proposal and it is accepted, you will be required to confirm that you accept the FOSDEM CoC. If you have any questions about the CoC or wish to have one of the devroom organizers review your presentation slides or any other content for CoC compliance, please email us and we will do our best to assist you. Questions? ---------- If you have any questions about this devroom, please send your questions to our devroom mailing list[2]. You can also subscribe to the list to receive updates about important dates, session announcements, and to connect with other attendees. See you all at FOSDEM!

[administrivia] Recent spam-posting subscriber and the held message queue
by Jeremy Stanley 11 Jul '23

11 Jul '23

I noticed someone subscribed to this list earlier today and then sent half a dozen spam posts. I've unsubscribed them and deleted their posts from the archive, but if this continues we may want to consider adjusting the new member policy for the list. For example, we can make it so that anyone else who subscribes from now on will have their posts moderated until a moderator sets that new subscriber as allowed to post unmoderated, once they've demonstrated that they're here for the intended topics of discussion. Unrelated, I checked the moderator queue and see quite a few held posts which look legitimate (presumably because Andreea is on sabbatical and there are no other active moderators for this list), so I'm going to approve them through to the list now and set myself as a stand-in moderator while we seek additional volunteers for the task. -- Jeremy Stanley

Hello from OSTIF! We are interested in doing a free security review of Rust VMM.
by Derek Zimmer 22 Jun '23

22 Jun '23

Hello everyone, Firstly, if i'm reaching out through the improper channel I apologize. I didn't want to spam security channels or file a github issue to reach out. Please forward this to the appropriate channel if you can! I'm Derek, founder of https://ostif.org and I'd like to discuss collaborating with the Rust VMM community on doing a security review of the project. This is entirely without cost, and we will work with you as much or as little as members would like to participate. We have a long history of collaborating with projects to help them with security and I'm happy to give you references if needed. We'd like to look at your testing regimen, do some manual code review, and do some supply chain analysis and then make recommendations based on our findings. We can also help with fixes if they are complex, or to build out some security tools to be more useful (rule sets for static analysis tools, expanding fuzzing code coverage, improving fuzzer performance, etc.) We have a deep network of experts from many fields, and we can shape this security review to focus on whatever Rust VMM needs. After all, you know more about what your project needs than we do. I'm excited about Rust VMM in particular because I'm really passionate about Rust and getting away from error-prone languages. We're currently working on wasmCloud and wasmTime as well, and building a proposal to improve ossfuzz for all Rust projects directly with Google. To move this forward, I'd like to talk with the lead contributor/s about how we can help, and how we can best work together. If you have any questions, feel free to email me directly. I'm happy to help in any way that I can! All the best, Derek Zimmer Executive Director Open Source Technology Improvement Fund Schedule a meeting with me anytime: https://calendly.com/derek-ostif

Added rust-vmm to the OpenHub project tracker
by Alex Bennée 22 May '23

22 May '23

Hi All, With my one of my other hats on I was reviewing the openhub data for QEMU when I realised rust-vmm didn't have a project entry. As OpenHub was originally based around single repo projects I had to manually add the additional rust-vmm repos to the same project: https://www.openhub.net/p/rust-vmm I left our the repos marked as archived because I think most of the still used from those archives was merged into active one. As with all metrics one has to be careful with interpreting them however it hopefully gives a useful overview of the project activity and what has been done so far. -- Alex Bennée Virtualisation Tech Lead @ Linaro

FYI: Extending vm-memory to add support for Xen
by Florescu, Andreea 18 May '23

18 May '23

Hey folks, We had a quick sync today between myself, Viresh, Alex, and Laura about how to extend vm-memory to add support for Xen, while also not impacting existing customers. If you want to follow up on the discussions, you can take a look at the PR from Viresh: https://github.com/rust-vmm/vm-memory/pull/220. Below are the meeting notes: Changes needed for adding Xen support * Xen supports two different kinds of mappings: foreign or grant * for grant mappings we need to update how reads/write work in vm-memory because we need to update mappings * grant mappings might be a feature for other hypervisors in the future, so we can keep them extendable * you can’t change from one mapping to the other during runtime * domain ID of the backend Status * Viresh working on another version of the PR that is enabling Xen via a feature in vm-memory, that is going to be propagated to the vhost implementation * Will update PR by 2023-05-31 so Andreea can take a look before leaving on the sabbatical * For the initial patch series to be merged the Xen feature can only be enabled at build time, we will look at having the hypervisor selected at runtime as a next step. Thanks, Andreea
