2) Project launch status
* Need bullet list of remaining tasks before announcement date,
schedule. See below.
* Light Schedule additions listed in google doc:
* Working on generic deck - taking info from briefing deck, updating
it for a general briefing invitation - can be sent out to anyone or used
at any event. ACTION - Carl to update mailing list.
* Carl is also working on draft invitation email, hopes to have that
sent to planning list by end of the week, looking for feedback. ACTION -
Carlto update mailing list.
* Thinking September 19th, or 15th for sending an invite- want to
spend chunk of meeting next week to make sure everyone is okay with
invite. ACTION - robyn update next week's agenda with review time.
* Working of website - need to have website worked up enough to
explain what event is looking like, what the event is, what the project
is about, how to RSVP, etc. Karsten is driving.
* 3 critical things to have done to start invites - updated deck,
general email, basic update/refresh of website.
* Carl to send first draft out of information. Don't need to dive
into governance - just cover licensing, more info at launch event.
* Actual launch dates:
* Originally - week of october 21, week of nov. 14
* Feeling maybe previous week in November - week of Nov. 7.
* May be problematic for RHT engineering
* Better to do a NA/California location for initial workshop launch
* Can use events like linuxcon, etc. to plug workshop
* CA should be a good locatoin for a first initial audience
* Jon Benedict - where are most of our attendees?
* Need to do something in US and Europe - most companies are on
international travel. Do a US launch at a major airport - CA, Chicago,
Dallas.
* We're all most likely to be travelling, regardless.
* Much more travel for the Israeli team.
* Hosting facilities in CA - IBM has previously volunteered, Intel
possibly, Cisco?
* Dave Stewart - Intel is a possibility (notes he may want to meet
offline with Carl to get up to speed as well). ACTION: Dave to look into
possibility of Intel hosting.
* Cisco -ACTION: Kyle Mestery to look into possibility of hosting.
* Over next week: Plan for feedback on-list, next call - editing
invite, deck.
* Logistically would be nice if we can get a preview of initial site
for review before publishing. Karsten to follow up.
* Website Launch - Karsten has contacted oVirt people who have been
doing infrastructure work.
* Will cut-over be to public info for workshop? Or will we update
the whole site generally with forums, etc. on date of workshop?
* One option - just have ovirt node info, other info private until
cut-over
* Perry has no issues with wiping existing website and taking
content to a new subproject.
* Karsten working on getting new pieces set up.
* Karsten planning on working with what exists, standard HTML,
adding a wiki in.
* Need to have website in line by 19th or 15th, whichever date the
letter goes out on.
* Karsten welcome to have help, will be pushing things to mailing list.
3) oVirt Workshop / Summit
* Settle date/location
* Looks to be possibly California, Bay Area, week of Nov. 7.
* Next Steps
* See above in notes - need updated deck, invite, website refresh.
* Need confirmation of location. Wait to hear back from potential
facilities.
* Current Workshop Attendee / Invitee list
*

5) Positioning/Differentiation Points (Karsten)
* Need to add to updated slide deck
* Not addressed this week in meeting
6) Governance Docs (Carl)
* Carl holding on this until he gets the invitation material together.
Welcome to have someone else draft these, or he'll start next week.
* What are we working from? Carl: will be working from deck, will
essentially borrowing from apache, gnome docs, etc. Should be able to
quickly assemble from public and reusable existing docs.
7) Infrastructure (Open Agenda item)
* Itamar is sorting out naming of projects coming from the RHT side,
should see a mail or doc update later today.
* Can get public infrastructure on BZ/mailing lists. Need names, etc.
Need a consistent set of names being used.
8) Other updates:
* If any other board-level orgs want to invite - just send Carl a mail.
* Coordination of workshop - Robyn, Karsten. Carl to follow up with
IBM, Cisco, Intel in bay area.
* Kyle can talk to Cisco about possible hosting.
