first oVirt Project workshop - where, when

We need to decide where and when to have the first oVirt workshop. So far, the focus has been on end of October or in November. Suggested locations: * Linuxcon Europe - Prague 26 - 28 October 2011 http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-europe * Silicon Valley, CA, USA (at Intel?) * London, UK * Portland, OR, USA? (at Intel) * Your suggestion? Goals are (please add/fix): * Draw large initial attention - maximum buzz. * Be wide open to the world. * Introduce the project and architecture, do a key component walk through. * Technical & leadership breakouts. * Be most useful for developers in oVirt: ** Hackathon. ** How-to sessions? ** Write the Big Schedule/roadmap for the year. * Be also useful and interesting for these audiences: ** Organizations of all sizes that are potential contributors. ** Developers who work on top of or with oVirt technologies. ** Systems and IT people who want to keep track of and influence the future of open virtualization. ** Anyone interested in getting real work done in the open virtualization space. This would be the first of probably annual or twice-a-year events for planning the oVirt roadmaps across various sub-projects. In addition, there might be regular (monthly?) developer meetup events with a strong workshop/hackfest theme. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41
