Or just look at the agenda for each meeting and decide?
The meeting Ariel mentioned below is "virtio networking upstream
meeting". Who said it is about vdpa?

At meetings are unofficial, feel free to do whatever, but if their
purpose is to give as wide an audience as possible insight into your
ideas in order to help progress, then surely splintering the already
narrow "networking device" community even further will not achive that.

And resulting confusion among possible contributors with respect to
which meeting to present at, is not welcome.
