During the past two weeks, there were two important conferences for Open Source developers in Europe, where you could also enjoy some QEMU related presentations. The following QEMU-related talks were held at the DevConf 2018 conference in Brno:

Last month, the KVM Forum 2019 took place in Lyon, France. The conference also featured quite a lot talks about QEMU, and now the videos of the presentation are available online. So for those who could not attend, here is the list of the QEMU-related presentations:

KVM Forum is an annual event that presents a rare opportunity for KVM and QEMU developers and users to discuss the state of Linux virtualization technology and plan for the challenges ahead. Sessions include updates on the state of the KVM virtualization stack, planning for the future, and many opportunities for attendees to collaborate.

The KVM Forum 2024 conference will take place in Brno, Czech Republic on September 22-23, 2024. KVM Forum brings together the Linux virtualization community, especially around the KVM stack, including QEMU and other virtual machine monitors.

The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) Mentor Summit 2025 took place from October 23rd to 25th in Munich, Germany. This event marks the conclusion of the annual program, bringing together mentors from all over the world. QEMU had another successful year with several interesting projects (details on our organization page), and it was a pleasure for me to represent the QEMU community at the summit, joining mentors from over 100 open source organizations to discuss the program, share experiences, and talk about open source challenges.
