<div dir="ltr"><div>OK, we're all good on the concept. Apologies for being disorganised, and I think I've left it a bit late for a Friday meeting (not to mention the fact that I would struggle to squeeze it in, myself).<br>
<br>I suggest we meet at the Cisco stand 5 minutes after the morning sessions end on Monday and discuss it over lunch. Looks like there's a reasonable lunch break, more still if we run into the period when the lightning talks are on.<br>

<br>
<br>
I've had some interest in talking over use cases for passthrough as a driver to discuss what features we might want (quite justified, since the last discussion was pretty low level, and based on my and others' experiences in developing for passthrough). I've
also had someone reach out from the Xen camp about passthrough for Xen - which comes as no surprise but does indicate that whatever we do should have a clean interface at the virtualisation driver level.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- have a birds of a feather meeting at the summit prior to the session-and-a-half that we have scheduled<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">- leave the presenters to deal with the information we've gathered so far about passthrough and have our further conversations during the sessions themselves.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">I would say it depends on whether we want a detailed proposal for work (interfaces, units of work, timelines) to be presented in the sessions or whether we would prefer to have the discussions
then and deal with the plan of work afterward.<br>
