Hi everyone, we created a simplified page to submit Design Sessions at http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/xen-developer-and-design-summit/program/cfp-design-session <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/xen-developer-and-design-summit/program/cfp-design-session>, which is also available from the event page menu under "Program > CFP - DESIGN SESSIONS". The old link will still work, but contains all the extra info related to regular 30 minute sessions and panels, which are not accepted any more. Regards Lars
