Thanks, Kashyap.

One of the things I noticed at the last KVM Forum / LinuxCon EU was
the KVM, libvirt and OpenStack devels don't talk enough.  There were a
few places where we saw suboptimal (or even deprecated) settings /
options being used for the QEMU command line being generated for VMs.

One of the ideas suggested was to have these hangouts-like sessions,
where a developer from openstack, or gluster, or kvm, or libvirt teams
would come and talk about their work, or how to best utilize the
infrastructure, what are the various options available, and tradeoffs
in them, etc., the overall stack would be better documented, and we'd
have more interaction amongst the various people involved.

I realise this is much broader in scope than what you have here, but
if there's interest in such a thing, we can discuss ways in which we
can go about this.  I'm also interested to hear if people have more
ideas in this regard (collaboration among people in various parts of
the stack).

Thanks,
