3) oVirt Workshop / Summit
  * Nov. 1, 2, 3, Cisco Main Campus, San Jose.
  * Details:
    * Attendee count, registration
    * Evening events/activities
    * Food
  * Need to get agenda firmed up by next Friday or possibly even Wednesday.
  * First morning
    * Introductions, running through full source via demonstration, 
scope of initial contribution, how it works. Afternoon: Start with 
initial architectural overviews of components together as a group.
  * Tuesday morning
    * Dev environment, etc. How to get started.
  * Other key aspects: Deeper dive around key components. Hardware 
enablement (Intel), IBM additional thoughts - additional sessions from 
other perspectives would be good.
  * Create a google doc, or possibly wiki? Carl to make notes somewhere 
(google docs, just need a wiki to post and will move over.)
  * Multiple audiences - developers as well as participants/observers. 
What's optimal for each of those groups?
  * IBM (Anthony speaking) hopes to answer - how to participate? What 
are the areas that people can dive into immediately and can help with? 
Make sure we have time for discussion. Need to have time to discuss how 
we can move forward. Kyle (Cisco) agrees. Dive-in sessions very useful, 
esp. for an event like this. BoFs or barcamp-style would be useful.
  * Gap analysis? Is that useful? Yes.
  * Want to walk away fromworkshop with ideas, etc. We can start those 
discussions For other participants, it's hard for them to commit on 
behalf of the rest of their companies.
  * Getting pre-work is very important to make sure that we get things 
out of the workshop.
  * Agreeing on first release date may be another thing to consider.
  * What's the most useful stuff for prior to workshop? Suggestions:
    * Gap analysis (at least from red hat's perspective), so they can 
see how it aligns with other interests in their companies
    * Documentation
    * Possible to post a recorded demo to oVirt website?
    * Links to existing info from Summit, etc. is possible
  * Need to do:
    * Documentation onto resources page
    * Relevant presentations from 3.0
    * Creating Demos around 3.0 release
    * Gap analysis
    * Roadmap / pick list
    * Feature pages? (ie: similar to Fedora?)

4) Infrastructure (ongoing agenda item)
  * Project naming status
  * BZ, mailing lists.
  * Wiki expected to be up in ~24hr
  * Gerrit coming as well
  * Discuss changing time / duration on the list

5) Other updates / Agenda topics
