OpenVZ will have a booth at the upcoming conference in Los Angeles, California, USA.
I want to design a new t-shirt for the conference (and other future events). So far we have two designs (about which ): first «container lifecycle» and then «kernel classics» (you can see both at ). Now I want to have something as geeky as the first design, which looks like a screenshot from a terminal, but using a dark-colored t-shirt (I think dark green will fit well).
If you have any suggestions for the design, or yet better can draw it (or a mock-up) — please speak up here or email me (kir at openvz org). If OpenVZ will take your design I promise to post two t-shirts to you.
In about a week I will be in Los Angeles for the annual . It is quite a big event. Well, not quite as big as LinuxWorld or Linux Symposium, but still big enough and growing bigger each year. I'd like to say this conference is of good spirit, whatever that means.
Like the last year, we were granted (#63), plus I will be giving a talk titled «», talking about cgroups, memory controller and stuff. Because of the booth I am not coming along — Lesya Novaselskaya will hostess the booth. Lesya is working for Parallels as a Quality Assurance engineer, her job is to test various software including OpenVZ in order to make it bullet-proof and rock solid.
We still have lots of things to do to be fully prepared for the event. I have already created a brand new OpenVZ t-shirt design codenamed «kernel classics» which you can see on the right (also, here is in hi-res). It plays around the fact that we name our 2.6.26- and 2.6.27-based kernels after famous Russian writers and painters, respectively. If you will be at the conference and tell us your OpenVZ story, you get your t-shirt. If you are not going to visit SCALE but eager to get such a t-shirt (not the same since I'm ordering from a different place, but with the very same graphics) you can buy it (previous «container lifecycle» t-shirt is also available).
I hope I will also prepare the new DVD images containing a live CD OpenVZ distro which could be used to get a feeling of what OpenVZ is without installing it, plus all the latest kernels, tools and templates.
