AFAICT you did this port with only a pretty minimal amount of input from
Xen developers, xen-devel, etc which is pretty impressive. I thought you
might have some interesting insights into some of the murkier corners of
the Xen PV architecture, things that were easier/harder than expected,
perhaps some general thoughts or advice on doing a PV OS port etc.

I can't find the reference but I seem to remember seeing somewhere that
fosdem offer neither travel not accommodation subsidies.

Also, this is a devroom rather than main track. When I've given a
devroom talk in the past it was never suggested to me, but I also never
asked.
