Workshop Invite - please provide feedback
Hi all, I¹ve had a few passes at the Workshop Invite, with some good feedback from Carl. I¹d like to share the latest version with all of you in hopes that you will provide additional feedback. Here is the current draft: Would you like to support an Open Source project that affects all aspects of the KVM hypervisor? Are you interested in helping to develop or influence the next generation of Open Source management tools for virtualization? Do you have the desire to grow the ecosystem around KVM in order to help drive its adoption? Do you have skills around organizing or writing that you would like to lend to an Open Source project? Are interested in an Open virtualization management platform? If you answered ³yes² to any of the above questions, then you are invited to attend the official launch of "oVirt" - the Open Virtualization Management Platform project, in (CITY, STATE,COUNTRY). The project will kickoff with a workshop meeting during (DATES), and is open to all who want to develop, QA, use, get involved or learn about the comprehensive open virtualization management platform. The sessions will cover the technical sub-projects, governance, getting involved, usage and much more. Full GIT repos (source), site, forums will also be launched at the event. If you have any interest in an Open Virtualization Management platform you need to be there! This workshop will officially launch the oVirt project. Cisco, IBM, Intel, NetApp, Red Hat, SuSe and other inaugural members of the oVirt team invite you to the launch of this truly open project; the workshop and project is open to any individual, non-corporate, or corporate. Please don¹t pass up on this opportunity to help foster, develop, organize, or influence the future of the Open Virtualization management project.

Do you develop a product or technology that can manage or extend KVM? Looks good! Thanks, Mike Mike Day IBM Distinguished Engineer Chief Virtualization Architect, Open Systems Development Cell: +1 919 371-8786 | mdday@us.ibm.com http://code.ncultra.org
Hi Mike, Most of what I¹ve done so far is find best practices (at least in regards to Red Hat¹s implementation) for KVM and RHEV + NetApp storage. This includes backup, DR, and site failover. Going forward, there are plans to do much deeper integration in order to allow KVM & RHEV (and oVirt!!!) to take advantage of things like copy offload and cloning from the backend, as well as provisioning. I¹m working with the good folks over in Tel Aviv for this. Additionally, I¹m working on the host side of cloning that is, what is the best way to prep a RHEL host (or hypervisor or VM..) prior to cloning. There are many artifacts (WWIDs, LUN IDs, SSH host keys, bits in initrd/initramfs etc) that you don¹t want copied between clones. So I¹m working on a sysprep¹ like tool & workflow to address this. I¹m 99% done with the RHEL 6.x version, but I¹m still testing on RHEL 5.6+. I¹ll be sure to release it to this group for feedback. From there, I¹ll see about adding in support for SuSe. Hope this answers your question, Jb PS. - it looks like you¹re in NC as well. I¹m in RTP, on Kit Creek.. If you¹re nearby, lets grab lunch sometime.

Are *you* interested... (also, why capital "O"?)
Do you develop a product or technology that can manage or extend KVM?
Feels (to me) like the tease is too long before reaching the punchline.
