Dario,

It is very sad news and it would be great if Ian could do it. What would be the best time to do it?

Thanks,

Piotr

Hello,

This is Dario, from SUSE. I have a talk accepted at the Virt&IaaS
Devorom @ FOSDEM 2020.

I am writing to you because I think you are running the Devroom itself.
If that is not the case, sorry for the noise (and if you happen to know
who else I can contact, would you please tell me?).

A terrible thing happened yesterday: Lars Kurth, from the Xen-Project,
passed away. I think you must know Lars, because of his role in the
project, in the Open Source virtualization community as a whole and
because he's helped organizing the FOSDEM Virt Devroom since something
like 10 years.

I personally don't have many more details about what happened, and the
information is still being kept a little quiet for now, but The Xen-
Project will make a public announcement/blog post, probably later
today.

Anyway, we thought that it would be nice if someone would say a few
words, at the Virtualization Devroom, in Lars' memory. If you also
think it could be a good idea, Ian Jackson, Cc-ed, also from the Xen-
Project and Lars' colleague at Citrix, told me he would be up for
standing up and speaking a little about him.

Let us know what your thoughts.

Thanks in advance and Regards,
Dario
