Agreed, in particular we need to hear from Intel and Cisco, I'm probably forgetting one or two other Western US -centric organizations.

Sent by: project-planning-bounces@ovirt.org In order to figure out where to have a workshop end of October/November timeframe, we need to know what works best for the majority of attendees. Right now the majority of the people who are on this spreadsheet ... (URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html) ... are from one company (Red Hat). Based on what we see there, an East Coast of the US or European location look best. If you want to be sure that we are choosing with you in mind, you need to be on that spreadsheet. This kick-off workshop is going to be very important, so we want as many of us there as possible. I'm going to contact the Linux Foundation about the possibility of having a workshop in advance of or following the Linuxcon in Prague (26 to 28 October.) If we don't get more information from all of you, the group will have to decide on a location based on what we know. At the moment, the best fit seems to be Linuxcon or RTP North Carolina. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41 [attachment "attwhijl.dat" deleted by Michael D Day/Raleigh/IBM] _______________________________________________ Project-planning mailing list Project-planning@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/project-planning

Few comments. Firstly, the workshop is for the teams that are in to get to know the details of the code, engineers meet etc. For this the spreadsheet is good However, hopefully in two weeks or so we will start inviting anyone that could be remotely interested to the workshop coming. For this the the relative convenience for us is less relevant. We can discuss and sort this tomorrow on the call. Regards Carl.
