The next MetaMeetup is at the Virtualization Users Group.

As I recall from the table discussion, we're talking about the
following sort of topics:

* What is virtualization / benefits, drawbacks?
* Overview of common virtualization technologies
* OS-level virtualization: VMWare, Xen/VirtualIron, VirtualBox
* Desktop-level virtualization: Citrix, LTSP, VDI
* Application-level virtualization: XenApp, NoMachine/FreeNX
* Real-world applications / success, failures

Is there anything else that people would like addressed in the loosely-
structured portion of the meeting?

Josh,

What about:
Steps to take to achieve Virtualization.
Cost of ownership such as learning curve, support, upgrades,
hardware, monitoring performance.
How long has Virtualization been around?
What major corporations uses it in a corporate environment.
