Hi Everyone,
As we finish our summer holidays (at least in the northern hemisphere) and peoples availability returns to normal it is time to consider what next steps we should be taking for project Stratos.

Another potential work item, expanding QEMU support for Xen to enable all the additional VirtIO backends QEMU already supports. There has been some work towards this already and I had proposed something like this in:
https://linaro.atlassian.net/browse/STR-19
And of course as this is an open collaborative project we encourage people to join in the effort. This is not meant to be merely a way of watching Linaro engineers work ;-)
As finding time slots that the majority of people can attend is a pain I propose the following poll to select our new time, those who aren't interested in attending need not vote:

I've also decided to close our regular Stratos Rust sync in favour of attending the upstream rust-vmm call which we participate in anyway.
It looks like this week might be bad for a number of potential participants so I've extended the poll into next week to ensure maximum potential availability.
OK I've moved the sync meeting to next Friday afternoon on the 30th:
- Review Project Goals - Potential Future Work - More Xen support for rust-vmm? - rust-vmm bare metal backends - xenvirt model for QEMU - enable pKVM?
The final item (if we get to it) will only be a precursor for the next meeting on the 14th October where we will discuss virtio-camera and I hope we can get all the interested parties on the call.
