Hi all,
it's now December 1st, so the first door of the QEMU Advent Calendar
2016 can now be opened:
http://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/2016/#day-1
For the next 23 days, we are going to present a new disk image each day,
so if you like, stop by regularly (I won't send a reminder each day).
And yes, we still need more disk images to complete the run this year -
if you are interested in contributing, please have a look at my original
mail below.
Enjoy,
Thomas
