live from SCALE7x

Greetings from SCALE7x! Today will be the second (and the last) day of the show. Yesterday I did a presentation titled "Recent Advances in the Linux Kernel resource management". The scope of the talk is much more technical and narrow than my usual talk about containers. More to say, I was focusing more on mainstream Linux kernel (i.e. cgroups and memory controller) than on OpenVZ kernel (i.e. user beancounters).

I think the talk was well received and I had about 10 different interesting questions, one is puzzling enough so I was not able to provide a good answer. This is definitely a sign of a good audience.

If anyone is interested in slides from my presentation, they are available: OpenOffice ODP (276K), PDF (409K), PPT (437K).

Getting ready for SCALE7x

In about a week I will be in Los Angeles for the annual Southern California Linux Expo, a.k.a. SCALE. It is quite a big event. Well, not quite as big as LinuxWorld or Linux Symposium, but still big enough and growing bigger each year. I'd like to say this conference is of good spirit, whatever that means.

Like the last year, we were granted a booth in the dot-org area (#63), plus I will be giving a talk titled "Recent advances in the Linux resource management", talking about cgroups, memory controller and stuff. Because of the booth I am not coming along -- Lesya Novaselskaya will hostess the booth. Lesya is working for Parallels as a Quality Assurance engineer, her job is to test various software including OpenVZ in order to make it bullet-proof and rock solid.

We still have lots of things to do to be fully prepared for the event. I have already created a brand new OpenVZ t-shirt design codenamed "kernel classics" which you can see on the right (also, here is the back design in hi-res). It plays around the fact that we name our 2.6.26- and 2.6.27-based kernels after famous Russian writers and painters, respectively. If you will be at the conference and tell us your OpenVZ story, you get your t-shirt. If you are not going to visit SCALE but eager to get such a t-shirt (not the same since I'm ordering from a different place, but with the very same graphics) you can buy it from cafepress (previous "container lifecycle" t-shirt is also available).

I hope I will also prepare the new DVD images containing a live CD OpenVZ distro which could be used to get a feeling of what OpenVZ is without installing it, plus all the latest kernels, tools and templates.

Join Our Team at LinuxWorld San Francisco

We're very excited that this year OpenVZ will have exhibit space in the dot-org pavillion of LinuxWorld in San Francisco, August 6-9. We will be showing and demoing OpenVZ server virtualization, answering questions and so on.

Here is the best news of all. We can have up to 7 people at our exhibit. While a few OpenVZ developers will come, it will definitely be less than 7. We do not want to stall OpenVZ development. :)

We would like the community to participate with us in the event. If you live in California (or can come to this LinuxWorld), are an OpenVZ user and would like to be a part of our team at the OpenVZ exhibit -- you are very welcome to join us! Please email me (kir@openvz.org) your details and we'll discuss arrangements.
