Hi everyone, That is a grand subject for my first "proper" email to the Users list, and it definitely needs some context! So let me introduce myself. My name is Dave Neary, and I recently started working for a group which is being formed inside Red Hat called OSAS (open source and standards). The role of my group is to help make any open source projects that Red Hat works in successful, and I would really like to help take oVirt to the next level in terms of adoption and contribution. One of the things I'm still figuring out is what the natural audience for oVirt is, and what you all like about oVirt, and would like to see improved. Based on that, I would like to propose areas we as a community can concentrate on related to the product, the website, and our marketing and promotion, but the first step is still to get a better idea what the target audience for oVirt is, and should be. So - how are you using oVirt? Why did you choose it over alternatives? What do you like about it? and what would you like to see change, whether that is in terms of technical, process, or marketing changes? I'm here to help, but to do so I need your help first! Please feel free to reply to me on-list (if you'd like to start discussion) or off-list (if you'd like your feedback to be more discrete). Any feedback at all will be helpful. Thank you very much - I look forward to hearing from as many of you as possible. Regards, Dave. PS. I'm still figuring out proper mailing list etiquette for this project - I've added board@ and arch@ to CC since I expect our work to have project-wide consequences, but it's more to keep people informed at this point. Please let me know off-list if I'm doing something I shouldn't! -- Dave Neary Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards Team, Red Hat Phone: +33 9 50 71 55 62
