Next Unikernel Alliance meeting: tomorrow, Thursday, October 26, 2023, 6pm CEST, on Zoom

[Răzvan Deaconescu]

Hi, everyone.

We meet tomorrow, Thursday, October 26, 2023, 6pm CEST, for our next
Unikernel Alliance meeting, as in the calendar invite. We meet on
Zoom, link to be provided soon.

This is going to be our to be our first "free discussion" meeting. The
topic is "Unikernel Use Cases" - what are unikernels useful for? How
we can we best put this technology to use?

While the context is mostly on creating commercial value, we should
also discuss research and teaching prospects.

This is a brainstorming meeting, so everyone is welcome to join,
provide opinions and contribute. The outcome would ideally comprise of
directions that unikernel projects should focus on and potential ways
in which we, part of different unikernel projects, can work together
towards those.

Meet you all tomorrow!

submission to FOSDEM'24[1].
