vagrant-hostmanager[1] plugin?

virsh will also give you this info, but that is, obviously, linux specific

FWIW, week of 21-25 is much better for me.. I am involved in organizing 
a conf that takes place the week of 14-18..

On a related note, would it be worth trying to put up a day long 
"cloud-y ish" day with a focus on nulecule/atomicapp at the end of the 
stay to try to 1) help our sales pitch 2) promote nulecule 3)help with 
hiring 4) etc ?
