Ian Campbell says, "With the release process for Xen 4.3 in full swing... I thought it would be useful to offer up some information and guidance on how the Xen project deals with bug reports and how to report bugs against the Xen Hypervisor Project."

The author installs the Xen Hypervisor on Fedora 19 in just a few commands. Quick and easy.

The Linux Link Tech Show (TLLTS), LinuxCon Japan, Texas Linux Fest, and Southeast Linuxfest each present opportunities to learn about the Xen Project between now and June 9.

An interesting technical history of the migration of the Xen Hypervisor onto the ARM-based Chromebook.

There are substantial reasons for choosing Xen over some other virtualization technology.

The newly rebooted Xen Orchestra project aims at developing a simple, scalable, Open Source web interface for Xen.

The Xen project announces a revolutionary advance in Open Source as the Linux kernel source tree is merged into Xen.

Members of the Xen Project team attend Linaro Connect in Hong Kong to discuss details about the new Xen ARM port.

The aim of the Hackathon is to give developers the opportunity to meet face-to-face to discuss development, coordinate, write code and collaborate with other developers.

SCaLE 11X is over, but not forgotten. It still reflects the heartbeat which drove Open Source into being. Russell says, "A few days ago, I had the privilege of attending SCaLE 11X in Los Angeles. And for me, it truly was a privilege. It had been over 5 years since I had the joy of attending a true Open Source conference of any real size, and what I found at SCaLE really excited me."

The Xen hypervisor is now officially using git as its source repository.

As machines are getting more and more powerful today, people want more from the powerful hardware. From a cloud user’s perspective, it is better to run more virtual machines on a single host. Xen currently supports running hundreds of guests on a single physical machine, but we plan to take it to the next magnitude – to run thousands of guests on a single host. To achieve this goal, we need to tackle several bottlenecks, ranging from the hypervisor to the guest kernel to the user space tool stacks. One of the most notable / tricky bit of all the improvements is certainly the event channel scalability, which should enable Dom0 / driver domains to handle more events than before, thus supporting more guests.

A project with a quiet voice in the community is about to turn the volume up with the addition of familiar Open Source evangelist Russell Pavlicek.

George Dunlop outlines how the Xen project is progressing toward the goals it set for its upcoming 4.3 release.

Dario Faggioli, a member of the Xen project, describes how you can easily install Xen and xen-tools on the Fedora distribution. If you thought that Xen and Fedora don't mix, think again!

Cassatt Corporation, my employer for the past 5 years, is out of cash. Now that we finally have solid Linux-based (but, sadly, not Open Source) software which powers internal clouds, we don't have the capital to continue. Anyone who wants disruptive technology for pennies on the dollar, now is you opportunity to jump in. Otherwise, it's the end of a neat, but bumpy, ride.
