+[This section will be a more free-form discussion about servers and
+whether RISC-V will ever capture any significant share of the
+marketplace. Here I just outline topics for discussion.]
+
+* What is a server? What is the difference between a server and a
+ laptop? What specialized components go into a server?
+
+ - NUMA and interrupt routing
+ - headless remote management and BMC
+ - very high speed network interfaces, RDMA
+ - separation of storage from compute, SANs, iSCSI, FC
+ - GPGPU, TPU, custom hardware
+ - hardware offload and accelerators
+ - virtualization, NFV, SR-IOV, ...
+ - fencing
+
+* How is server hardware deployed? Single servers versus datacenters.
+
+* How is server software provisioned?
+
+ - mass provisioning of nodes (eg. with Ironic)
+ - orchestration and configuration management
+
+* Single kernel image works everywhere.
+
+* Standard boot method.
