oVirt slide decks & other collateral
I've created marketing and marketing/collateral categories on the ovirt.org wiki, and started a page listing the slide decks that we have for the project so far: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/OVirt_Slide_Decks. At the top of the page I've linked to a new, generic ovirt deck, assembled out of the other decks, meant to be used for project overview-type presentations. Karsten Wade used a version of this generic deck for his recent talk at SCALE: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/User:Quaid/SCALE_10x_presentation. His version spreads the text out over multiple slides to combat the dense "wall of text" effect on some of these. To a similar end, I'm working on thinning out some of these slides, as well as adding screenshots from the current version of the code, and making some of the diagrams less Red Hat-centric. If you have other feedback on this deck, or suggestions/requests for other pieces of collateral the project could benefit from, please let me know, and/or add to the wiki under the relevant categories. Thanks, Jason

Hi, Thanks, that's a good overview deck. But one suggestion... Perhaps it would be good to add in some slides here that show off the UI a little more? Not necessarily a deep dive into the oVirt Engine but at least some general concepts like showing how things are organized (datacenter, cluster, storage domain) and showing some basic workflows. That might make things a little more concrete/tangible for folks listening to this presentation. Right now the presentation is very high level, and for technical audiences (like we'd see at conferences like FOSDEM, FUDcon, etc) there's not enough meat in there to capture the attention of potential contributors. Make sense? Perry

That's a great suggestion, and a slide deck like this is a great place to provide illustrations. I will add them. Jason

Just to be clear, not just diagrams but actual screen shots of the oVirt Engine UI are what I was after. (Though more diagrams is good too)

Yep, that's what I understood you to mean. Screen shots.
