RFC: oVirt NetApp workshop Call for Content

Hi all, I just put a draft call for content in a new page for the NetApp workshop on the wiki: http://www.ovirt.org/NetApp_Workshop_January_2013 The call for contents is basically a copy of the topic list from the KVM Forum/oVirt Workshop in Barcelona. Some points to note: * I set the deadline close, so that we could notify speakers before the holidays, and allow people coming from further away to organise travel arrangements. Is 2 weeks for a Call for Content enough? * We will re-use the workshop-pc mailing list for proposals and discussion. There was an open discussion point about what our subscription and posting policy should be for the list - I suggest that non-members may post to the list, and anyone can subscribe. I would like to actively reach out to some oVirt users and partners to ensure that we have a diverse set of content for the conference - I would expecially like to hear some interesting case studies about the ways that oVirt is being used! Can I get some comments on this quickly, please? If it is acceptable, I would like to push it more widely this evening. Thanks, Dave. Call for Content We are actively seeking speakers for this workshop. We are interested in talks in the following areas: * Case studies of oVirt deployments * Using oVirt effectively * oVirt Project Roadmaps * Deep dives into features/areas * Deep dives into code/debugging/tuning * Integration and extensions * Components: engine, vdsm, node, sdk/cli, reports, mom, guest agent, etc. * Subjects: network, storage, vm life cycle, scheduling & sla, gluster, etc. * Packaging, installation and distributions * Community infrastructure and services Please submit talk proposals for review by sending a message to workshop-pc@ovirt.org.

with the amount of spam on other lists, please have this one moderated as well. i haven't seen many/any CFP lists which are open on their discussions on papers, rather just accepted/not accepted in the end?

Unless I am very much mistaken, the list archives are private and posts by non-members are moderated.

I was suggestiong changing this - I don't think it's very nice, when you're sending a proposal for a presentation, to get a message saying "this email is being held in moderation". Can we change the moderation email to say "Thank you for your submission, we will get back to you shortly"? Otherwise, I would suggest that we not moderate email posted to the list, while retaining moderated membership and private archives. We would run the risk of receiving spam through the list, but in conjunction with the planned spam filtering which Kevin proposed to put in place, and which Karsten will set him up to do, that might not be a problem for long.

I am in complete agreement with you. Regarding changing the list autoreply re: moderation, I can imagine this is possible but Karsten would know better.
Karsten, thoughts?

IIRC, it's set on this page: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/admin/workshop-pc/privacy/sender http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/admin/workshop-pc/?VARHELP=privacy/sender/mem... Since I had the page open I went ahead and pasted in the above suggestion from Dave. It's y'all's mailing list, but IMO private archives, moderated incoming email, and a nice moderation message should be sufficient. Also, the first time you pass through an email from someone, be sure to add them to the 'accept_these_members' list (with the flag in the moderation interface.) Currently, 'accept_these_members' has ^.* in the top, a regular expression that should accept all incoming email. I just tested that, and it works. Currently, all incoming emails are just accepted. If you want to change that, remove the '^.*' regexp from the top of the 'accept_these_members' field. This is findable on the same privacy/sender page as above. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41
