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?
The IBM site in Almaden, CA is an excellent facility in Silicon Valley and we offer it as another option.
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.
Agree with all the suggestions above. I would add: * technology proposals or introductions. A forum for participants to introduce new projects as candidates for the oVirt community.
