Join us: Intel-VMware supercharged live chat next Tuesday There's an interesting event that has been traveling under the radar until now, but it's a unique opportunity to interact with virtualization experts from both Intel and VMware, so pay attention to this blip on your screen. What: the Intel Xeon Processor Live Chat When: Tuesday, October 6, 10am-12noon PDT (-7 UTC) Where: Intel's Open Port community site Who will be there? This is where it really gets interesting. I'm still assembling the official biographies of the various attendees, but here's what I know about the attendees on the VMware side: Scott Drummonds.

Last year, Intel got hundreds of questions over this two hour chat, and they weren't even talking about virtualization! This is the first time they've invited a partner to come in and join them on these chats, so we hope we can help Intel provide an interesting and valuable resource for you. Come by this event and talk about anything related to Intel and VMware - performance, business value, technical questions -- whatever's on your mind.
