As a part of the community activities for 2016, I'm excited to share with you that we'll be boosting local oVirt activities in a city near you! =============================== What is a "local oVirt event"? =============================== Local events include (but are not limited to) meetups, workshops, or hackathons, focused on bringing oVirt users and contributors together to share stories, celebrate milestones, learn something new, or collaborate on oVirt projects. We're also hoping to collaborate with other open-source user and developer groups, much like our upcoming oVirt/Foreman meetup in London[1]. =============================== Where will these events happen? =============================== Anywhere you are! oVirt is a global community and we're happy to support our regional users and contributors all around the world. Suggestions for cities where you'd like to see the oVirt community get together and grow are welcome, but we need your help to make it happen! =============================== How can we make it happen? =============================== At the core of any local technology event is the local community. Sadly, I am not yet omnipresent, so I probably won't be able to personally organize or attend all of these wonderful future events. If you would like to: * Help to coordinate a meetup, workshop, or hackathon in your city * Give a workshop or a talk about an oVirt-related topic at a local user or developer group (cross-project integration sessions are especially welcome!) * Lead a sprint or hackfest on an oVirt project or task * <your crazy and awesome idea here!> Subscribe to events@ovirt.org[1] and introduce yourself. This list will be used to brainstorm, coordinate, and discuss ideas for oVirt-related events. NOTE: Official event announcements will be made to announce@ovirt.org[2], so if you just want to be notified of upcoming events, you can subscribe to that list instead. Looking forward to meeting you!
