• Scott Moser has some interesting stuff to show us about something called OVF (Open Virtualization Format). It describes how a "virtual appliance" is packaged so that a user can easily use it. OVF has been submitted to the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) to be approved as a standard for delivery of virtual appliances.

• John Sivak will give us a presentation on Virtual Box which is an open source virtualization product that is being developed by Sun Microsystems.
