This video uses code_swarm to visualise the development of the Xen project. It shows commits to xen-unstable.hg. Each dot represents a file. New files appear in a random place, and with each commit they get brighter and move towards the person making the change. The colours represent a
From xen-devel mailing list, The EmbeddedXEN project aims at building a single multi-kernel binary image that can be used on ARM platform with hard realtime applications. Currently, a full integration of the hypervisor, miniOS and Linux kernel has been achieved. However, only miniOS is running as guest OS for the
The Xen.org community and its associated product – Xen hypervisor is now listed on the Enterprise Open Source Directory. The Xen home page contains information on the product as well as ratings, case studies, etc. I will work with the EOS team to add content to this site.

These discussions are generating a great deal of interest in Xen and Linux so I thought
From Keir on xen-devel: The first release candidate for Xen 3.4.1 is tagged as 3.4.1-rc1 at http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.4-testing.hg Quite a few important fixes have been made since 3.4.0. Please test and let’s get this one out quickly!
With my current access to some of the Xen.org developers here in Cambridge, UK I am planning to do a series of short (10 minutes) video interviews to learn more about the people behind Xen. I am putting together a series of questions for these interviews and would like
The Japanese software project Karesansui has released the first version of its open source software. The Web console allows management of virtual systems under Xen. Karesansui provides creation of virtual guests and starting, suspending and shutting down the VM. It also takes snapshots and assigns CPU and RAM resources. Rest
