Re: Post-Mortem Notes

Hello everyone, Thank you for your detailed feedback. I have captured it on the oVirt wiki [0] for later reference. I have also shared these notes with the Linux Foundation Events Team. I believe we have sufficiently detailed feedback to help us plan the next workshop. I'll address this item during this week's oVirt IRC meeting.
