Welcome to the new Xen.org weekly newsletter with a variety of information to keep you updated on all things Xen.

                * Xen.org Mascot - Final Survey Results (http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2010/01/14/xen-org-mascot-final-survey-results/) - Thanks to the 76 voters who responded to the survey request with an overwhelming majority asking for the creation of a Xen.org mascot [62 YES (81%) and 14 NO (18%]. I have now opened up a 2 week submission window for people to submit their ideas via the Blog comment or email to myself. All submissions can be descriptions at this time and will be included in a community vote in early February.

                * Xen Users Commonly Asked Questions Guide - This support document is updated with December 2009 questions and continues to be an excellent resource for Xen users. The document is available at http://www.xen.org/files/Support/XenUsersCommonlyAskedQuestions.pdf.
