  Ian Pratt, the original project leader of Xen and a founder of XenSource, remains a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, but is now also vice president for special products at Citrix — and remains chairman of Xen.org.
  
  ZDNet UK spent a day at Citrix's UK headquarters with Pratt and his colleague, Simon Crosby, who has moved from chief technology officer of XenSource to become chief technology officer of Citrix.

  After lengthy briefings on Citrix products and the future of virtualisation, we sat down with Pratt to understand where Citrix is going and why.
  
  In the first of what will be a two-part interview, Pratt discusses how Citrix hopes to make headway in the virtualisation market.

  But, as Crosby said yesterday, XenSource is interesting in that it claims that it doesn't want to compete straight-across with other companies. (Although, amusingly, lead for the Xen Project and XenSource co-founder Ian Pratt was quick to point out that the brand-new XenServer 5 has 80 per cent of VMWare's features that make it "very competitive with VMWare.") And it doesn't want to adhere to the typical open-source, either.
  ...
  As Pratt said, "It was a one-product company, and then they got a broader portfolio, but people didn't necessarily notice.") but striking out with XenSource seems to be a great move.

  It also maintains strong ties to the Open Source community that birthed its Xen product line, according to Citrix's VP of Engineering and XenSource founder Ian Pratt.
  
  Pratt said Xen's Open Source community involved 'hundreds' of developers who 'have no corporate agenda, and want to build the best hypervisor possible'.
  
  "It's certainly in Citrix's best interest to have a healthy Open Source community behind Xen, and to respect that community," he told iTnews.

  Xen project leader and founder Ian Pratt noted that there are over 20 major corporations, as well as plenty more individuals and smaller companies, that regularly contribute to the Xen open source software project.Pratt also noted that successful open source communities require transparency and good technical leadership.
  
  "I'm proud of the Xen team's record in delivering this impartial leadership, and grateful that XenSource management has never pressured developers to do otherwise," Pratt told Internetnews.com.
  
  With the creation of the Xen Foundation, the importance of community leadership independence will continue, even with Citrix at the helm of XenSource.
  
  "Creating the Xen Foundation allows for even greater transparency and leadership independence than we have today, and will provide an organized forum for enabling the community of vendors and users that are building Xen into their businesses to influence the project roadmap," Pratt said.
  
  Pratt is expected to serve as the first chairman of the Xen Foundation.
  
  The project roadmap itself for the Xen open source project is not expected to change as a result of XenSource's new owners, either.Pratt explained that the project will continue along the path that was agreed on at the last Xen Developers Summit at IBM's TJ Watson facility in New York in April.
  
  "As regards the future, I guess we'll have to wait and see until after the Xen Foundation's inaugural meeting, but I'd be surprised if there were calls to deviate too far from the current plan," Pratt said.
  
  Though there are many vendors in the Xen ecosystem, Pratt admitted that the Citrix acquisition happened so quickly that it wasn't possible to give a heads up to everyone.
  
  "In many cases there have been senior execs at companies that have been briefed but not the developers and other folks that we work with on a day to day basis, and I hope they'll forgive us for springing a surprise on them," Pratt said.
