I joined Citrix almost exactly a year ago.   I have spent a lot of that
time working on packaging xapi and the other toolstack components so that
they can be built outside Citrix using standard tools, and installed and
run on standard Linux distributions [1].   With a lot of help from Dave
Scott, Jon Ludlam, Bob Ball, Mate Lakat and many others we are now able
to build and run Xapi on CentOS 6.5, Ubuntu Trusty and Debian Jessie on
x86_64, as well as on Linaro on ARM!

I'm particularly interested in:
1) Continuing to improve Xapi's packaging, and helping upstream
   distributions to include these packages in their repositories.

2) Making Xapi more robust and reliable, and making it easier to figure
   out what went wrong when it does fail.

Thanks,
Euan
