Xen Project Developer Summit Videos and Slides

It has been a while since we held the Xen Project Developer Summit. All slides have been posted on our slideshare channel (prefixed with XPDS14) and are also available on youtube. Slides and videos are also available on the presentation & video page of our website (again, just search for XPDS14). A few videos are still missing, due to editing issues and will follow shortly.
