> A good technical talk should not just report on what has happened over

> END-USER TALKS

> One of the big challenges as developers is to know what, where and how
> people actually use our software.  We will reserve a few slots for end
> users talking about their deployment challenges and achievements.
> 
> If you are using KVM in production you are encouraged submit a speaking
> proposal.  Simply mark it as an end-user talk.  As an end user, this is a
> unique opportunity to get your input to developers.
> 
> HANDS-ON / BOF SESSIONS
> 
> We will reserve some time for people to get together and discuss
> strategic decisions as well as other topics that are best solved within
> smaller groups. This time can also be used for hands-on hacking
> sessions if you have concrete code problems to solve.
