For each area we will try and answer the following questions: Why are these improvements important? What is being done? Where to next? We will also give a short demo of Oracle VM Server, a GPL'd Xen-based server virtualization environment. This will be followed by an post presentation pizza party, courtesy of Oracle Technology Network (OTN) (at 'a place of your choosing'). About the Speaker: Todd Trichler is an Oracle veteran of eight years, having worked in alliances, product management, and marketing. As Senior Principal Product Manager for OTN, he has been working closely with development to drive Oracle's engagements with JUGs, LUGs, PUGs and other members of the Java, Linux, and PHP technical communities.
