If it is at all possible, could Cisco, IBM, Intel see if we can get a tentative confirm for one of the facilities for the launch on the 1-3rd November before the Wednesday call.

If we can settle this by/on Wednesday we can complete the materials and go public with invitations / briefings next week.

As a backup option in case this doesn't work out I'm investigating the availability of an IBM facility in the Bay Area.

Hi Carl - let me look into this on the Intel side. We're still talking Bay Area and Nov 2 and 3, right?

Kyle, Imad,

Any break through on location confirm from either Cisco or Intel?

Hi folks, update from IBM: the Almaden research facility is NOT available those dates. The Silicon Valley Briefing center IS available, but not the briefing center itself - instead the standard office and conference rooms are available. BUT no wireless access for non-IBMers. So I would recommend the IBM SVN briefing center as the last option for Silicon Valley.

Hi, While you haven't heard from me since the call I have been busy here internally to align the SUSE penguins behind this ;-) So far I see no major roadblocks and will have a formal response with participation names for you very soon. The website is getting in great shape at a high level. My folks obviously went to get more technical info. Is there anything I can share already? The only (nitpicking but) politically important change request I would have is to not name the architecture picture "rhev.png" but rather "ovirt.png" or something like that ;-) I hope you understand that this is not the message we should convey for an "open" project and we would like to see as SUSE ;-) Great work everyone! I really like what I see so far. Ralf Am Mi 14 Sep 2011 22:58:58 CEST schrieb Carl Trieloff <cctrieloff@redhat.com>:

We will wait to hear from Intel / Cisco / NetApp

Ralf,

The goal is to get a location confirmed today. If we get that we will go public Monday.

I am trying to get all stakeholders approve, but it looks like the last one I will only get during Monday, so can we move that to Tuesday to be on the safe side?

I will send an explicit mail when we are ready

Ok. And the filename change you will do? Ralf

Carl.

I meanwhile have also the approval from my boss, Nils Brauckmann. With that all important stakeholders have approved, the penguins are aligned and you have a "go" from SUSE. We are still sorting out travel plans and who will come to the kickoff workshop, but reserve at least 5 places for SUSE. I should have the names by the end of this week. Ralf
