Re: RFC: oVirt NetApp workshop Call for Content

Hi all, I just put a draft call for content in a new page for the NetApp workshop on the wiki: http://www.ovirt.org/NetApp_Workshop_January_2013 The call for contents is basically a copy of the topic list from the KVM Forum/oVirt Workshop in Barcelona. Some points to note: * I set the deadline close, so that we could notify speakers before the holidays, and allow people coming from further away to organise travel arrangements. Is 2 weeks for a Call for Content enough? * We will re-use the workshop-pc mailing list for proposals and discussion. There was an open discussion point about what our subscription and posting policy should be for the list - I suggest that non-members may post to the list, and anyone can subscribe.

I would like to actively reach out to some oVirt users and partners to ensure that we have a diverse set of content for the conference - I would expecially like to hear some interesting case studies about the ways that oVirt is being used! Can I get some comments on this quickly, please? If it is acceptable, I would like to push it more widely this evening. Thanks, Dave. Call for Content We are actively seeking speakers for this workshop.
