Call for Volunteers: Summaries of a few KVMForum-2020 talks for an LWN article
Hi, folks Like last year[1], we're aiming to submit a KVM Forum 2020 "recap" article for LWN. This won't be a comprehensive summary of a lot of talks — LWN normally aims for 1500 words; they say "fewer can sometimes work, and more is generally OK too". Given that, the write-up can cover about four topics, similar to previous year's recap. So I'm looking for a couple of volunteers. Meanwhile, I'll write LWN folks an email to see if they're amenable to this. If they can't accept it for some reason, Plan-B is qemu.org blog articles. - KVM Forum 2020 schedule: https://kvmforum2020.sched.com/ - And LWN.net's author guidelines: https://lwn.net/op/AuthorGuide.lwn I volunteer to summarize Janosch Frank's "The Common Challenges of Secure VMs" talk. Let me know, on-list or off-list, on what topic you'd like to pick. PS: Just like it was noted in the last year's call for volunteers, we will not ask LWN.net for money.

Hi, it's me again. LWN said they're open for a summary article and/or a couple of in-depth talks -- if there are volunteers. Generally LWN audience prefers fewer talks that go deeper. For an in-depth article, I'm more comfortable doing Eric Blake's "NBD and Bitmaps: Building Blocks of Change Block Tracking" talk, as I'm somewhat familar with the topic. Let us know if anyone else wants to do an in-depth article on any of the other KVM Forum talks. [...] -- /kashyap
