oVirt slide decks & other collateral
by Jason Brooks 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

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

+1 for the need. I think we should give md5 or similar hashes, and let distro's do the signing. Sent from my Android phone.

Tagline on ovirt.org does not communicate a clear and simple message
by Stefan Hajnoczi 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hi, The tagline on ovirt.org is long and unclear: "Complete and Comprehensive Open Source Infrastructure and Management Virtualization Platform for the Data Center". "Complete and Comprehensive" is almost a tautology. "Infrastructure and Management Virtualization Platform" does not make sense, I'm not sure what a "Management Virtualization Platform" is. Something shorter would communicate what ovirt.org is about better. This tagline is used in the <h2> and <title> (shortened). It's important because this is how visitors learn what oVirt is and whether to read more. How about shortening it to, "Complete Open Source Virtualization Platform for the Data Center"? Thanks to mburns on #ovirt for directing me to infra(a)ovirt.org and board(a)ovirt.org. Stefan

The oVirt Project bills itself as an open virtualization project providing a feature-rich server virtualization management system with advanced capabilities for hosts and guests, including high availability, live migration, storage management, system scheduler, and more. The oVirt goal is to develop a broad ecosystem of tools to make up a complete integrated platform and to deliver them on a well defined release schedule. These are components designed and tested to work together, and oVirt should become a central venue for user and developer cooperation.
