Re: [Xen-devel] [RFC 0 PATCH 3/3] PVH dom0: construct_dom0 changes

[Lars Kurth <lars.kurth@xxxxxxxxxx>]

George,

there are two options. 

Option 1: Withdraw the talk. 
Option 2: Don't withdraw the talk
* Have a discussion on Wednesday
* Cover the current design and highlight the issues and possible solutions.
* Have a Bof afterwards to get more community involvement. BoF slot 6, which is 
on the next day is still up for grabs. We could also see whether maybe Stefano 
Panella would swap his BoF slot such that the discussion could immediately 
follow your talk.

Option 2 potentially has the advantage of getting more people involved in PVH 
going forward. Option 1 feels a little closed.

Regards
Lars

Hmm, which will make my "PVH technical deep-dive" talk a bit challenging to 
write. :-)

Lars, any suggestions?  I could just back out the talk (which would reduce my 
talk-writing load a bit), or I could try to talk about things in general and 
the issues we've been discussing.
