Adding board list... I'm hoping with a wider audience, we might get additional feedback on hosting solutions.

For details on the issues currently blocking the release, please see the bugs listed here[1].

Promoting oVirt: Workshops & More
by Leslie Hawthorn 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

Hello everyone, I wanted to share some updates on upcoming oVirt workshops and overall promotion of oVirt with the Board. We're already at 50 workshop registrations for LinuxCon North America [0], and that's with ~25% of overall conference registrations completed. I can see us doubling that number in the coming weeks with some additional promotion efforts from all of us. I'd like to ask for help from all of the Board member companies to promote the workshops and the 3.1 release. The Open Virtualization Alliance (OVA) will be promoting both upcoming workshops and oVirt 3.1 via their website, mailing list and social media channels. Our colleagues at IBM have also graciously agreed to promote the 3.1 release via their social media channels and newsletter. If any board member companies would like boilerplate text that can be adapted by their PR teams, I'll be happy to send it along. Obviously, we'll need to hold on promoting the 3.1 release based on the results of today's go/no go meeting, but I'd love for folks to being promoting the workshops now. Last but not least, we'd like to add additional seats to the workshops at LinuxCon North America and for KVM Forum + oVirt at LinuxCon Europe. We'd like to raise $5,500 for LCNA, which would allow us to double the number of free registrants to 100. For KVM Forum + oVirt at LinuxCon Europe, we're looking to raise $38,500 to allow for free registration for 150 attendees at the event. Traditionally, KVM Forum has not been cost free for attendees, so our sponsorship will definitely generate kudos for the sponsors. Workshops include free lunch for the attendees and a $200 discount on their LinuxCon conference registration for both North America and Europe. For those board companies interested in sponsoring upcoming workshops, let me know and I can work with you to make arrangements with the Linux Foundation. Other workshop sponsors will be listed on the appropriate Linux Foundation event site(s) for each workshop and we can work with the LF to promote additional sponsors in their attendee email blasts leading up the conferences. Other sponsor benefits can no doubt be negotiated depending on your needs. Any questions, let me know. Thank you in advance for your help in promoting oVirt!

Interested in joining the ovirt board strategically...
by Leonardo E. Reiter 20 Jul '12

20 Jul '12

Hello, I am Leo Reiter, CTO of Virtual Bridges, Inc. Since 2008 we have been leveraging KVM (and QEMU before that) to deliver best of breed VDI solutions to compete with the likes of VMware View and Citrix XenDesktop. We have made available various enhancements to KVM that we are working on getting upstreamed. I would like to understand the process of getting onto the board. I bring 11 years of experience in virtualization, specifically VDI, and over 4 years of experience with KVM specifically. This includes large scale deployments at various private sector and public sector customers. My role as CTO has been a combination of Chief Architect, Designer, Developer, and Advocate. I will even be delivering a speech at LinuxCon North America 2012 on "Making Linux VDI a Reality". I am also happy to instruct my developers to get experienced with the ovirt platform and even consider becoming a maintainer. But I believe my industry experience may be valuable to the board as well, to bring a practical customer-centric perspective to the organization. Thank you very much in advance, Leo Reiter

non-coding sub-projects
by Karsten 'quaid' Wade 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The Infrastructure team began discussing seeking formal recognition as a sub-project of oVirt. However, the current methodology is clearly focused on code: http://www.ovirt.org/governance/adding-a-subproject/ As such, I'm not even sure we know exactly what the Infra team is asking for! At a minimum, I think the goal is to: * Get 3+ maintainers in the project, then * Get recognition as a formal project, and * Maintainers join the Board to proactively drive infrastructure for the entire project. What think you all? - - Karsten - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v. gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFP+2EK2ZIOBq0ODEERApEAAKCaLNWnwluKuLZ9YfqLx23Bo03+5ACeIKay 7uAqsUbsQg4xvL/Kji1bNb0= =082m -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
