OK, the subject was a mouthful :)
LILAX (Linux at LAX users group) is presenting on the LA-UML coop and
UMLs in general ... and I'll cut and paste the description below :)  Is
anyone interested in carpooling to this with me?

Description: User Mode Linux (UML) is kernel patch which allows multiple
instances of the kernel to run simultaneously on a single computer. Each
kernel instance operates as an independent virtual Linux machine with
its own IP address, root and user accounts, daemons, services, et
cetera. This is a perfect solution for cheap web hosting since many
sites can be hosted from a single server. Several companies (1, 2, 3, 4)
offer UML-based server hosting for about $20/month.
In January, Chris Smith posted an idea he had to the lula mailing list:
anyone interested in forming our own UML hosting co-op? People were
interested and the LA UML Co-Op came into existence.
LA UML co-op members David Benjamin, Michael Fair, Shane Chen, Steve
Redlich, and (tentatively) Chris Smith will lead a panel discussion on
what UML offers; how the co-op was started, the hardware spec'ed and
purchased, the colocation ISP selected; and resource sharing and legal
issues. As the co-op's server is not yet installed at the ISP, the plan
is to bring the server to the meeting for a realtime demonstration of
UML in action.
