Project Manager Election (Cancelled)
by Mike Burns 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

Just a quick update. Moran and I had a couple behind the scenes emails about this. We decided that: 1. Mike will be Project Manager and continue to lead the meetings, etc. 2. Moran will server as the backup or VPM (vice project manager) 3. We'll both share the responsibilities, though we haven't worked out who will cover what yet. Any objections? Thanks Mike

oVirt Workshop demo hardware
by Mike Burns 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hi Michael, Ryan, other board members, One of the things that came out after the workshop in San Diego was the lack of a true demo environment that people could see and interact with. We would like to do something in Barcelona during the workshop and possibly beforehand at the oVirt booth. Is it possible for your companies to donate some hardware to the cause for that week so we can have something for attendees to see and use? Thanks Mike

revised download page mockup
by Garrett LeSage 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hi everyone, Based on some feedback from the IRC meeting yesterday, I've scaled back the changes needed from oVirt for the download page and designed an alternate that we could use for the immediate future. http://people.redhat.com/glesage/oVirt/website/mockup-1/download-alt.html It's based on what is currently on oVirt.org, with some minor changes: • simplification of the installation steps • inclusion of system requirements and some summary text at the top As I wanted to communicate what each section would say, I wrote some filler text that should be somewhat close to the idea of what we might want to use. However, the text on this page is very rough in comparison to the other pages, so please keep this in mind. Also, I should note that the original download design (for comparison) is at: http://people.redhat.com/glesage/oVirt/website/mockup-1/download.html ...and the background thoughts behind the original download page are at: http://people.redhat.com/glesage/oVirt/website/background-info/design-downl… Thanks! I'm looking forward to your feedback! Garrett

Election for Project Manager -- Voting Closes 2012-09-14
by Mike Burns 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

This is a call for votes for one of the two candidates for the oVirt Project Manager Position. Voting closes at EOD 2012-09-14. The Candidates Moran Goldboim Mike Burns The Role: Project Manager Responsibilities: Maintain Schedule Run weekly meeting Coordinate with project maintainers on dates, features, etc Ensure that docs and release materials are ready for release Final say on what goes into a release Tracking new features Tracking action items Release Schedule This person should be empowered to make decisions for the project (based on input from maintainers, but final call is theirs). As for choosing this person, it could be done via general election on email or an IRC meeting. I'd suggest having someone do it for a limited timeline, maybe 2 or 3 releases, then another election is held. There are no term limits, so if a person wants to continue past the 2 or 3 releases, all they need is to be reelected. Please submit your votes by the deadline! Thanks Mike

New Role Proposal in the oVirt Project
by Mike Burns 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Given some of the difficulties we've had recently with planning and getting releases pulled together, I'd like to propose we have a new role in the Project. Project Manager Responsibilities: Maintain Schedule Run weekly meeting Coordinate with project maintainers on dates, features, etc Ensure that docs and release materials are ready for release Final say on what goes into a release Tracking new features Tracking action items This person should be empowered to make decisions for the project (based on input from maintainers, but final call is theirs). As for choosing this person, it could be done via general election on email or an IRC meeting. I'd suggest having someone do it for a limited timeline, maybe 2 or 3 releases, max, then someone else takes over. Any thoughts, suggestions, comments? Thanks Mike
