    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">This is cross-posted to COLUG and
      OSU-OSC. <br>
      Many of us are interested in virtualization. The "VM and Linux
      Workshop" is all about that. <br>
      <br>
      The conference is centered around z/VM. I have a personal agenda
      to make it more general (especially since KVM now runs on "System
      z"). But z/VM remains the leader in terms of performance,
      controls, and reliability. (Insertion loss with z/VM is under 5%
      compared to native, which is unheard of for other "full
      virtualization", normally only seen in para-virt and containers.)
      It's good stuff to know about whether you're a student or
      "seasoned" professional. <br>
      <br>
      Mainframe hardware is better known for running z/OS (popularly
      called MVS), the stereotypical green-screen and batch system.
      While MVS is incredibly powerful for heavy lifting business
      operations, the hardware supports other operating systems,
      including Linux and other Unix. This workshop is a gathering of
      people using virtualization and Linux on that hardware. <br>
      <br>
      Also, my employer will be hosting a performance seminar two days
      prior. Attendance to the seminar is free for people attending the
      latter workshop. <br>
