I think this plan would be wonderful. We haven't yet establish a CFP 
process or other means to do this outreach formally. What would folks 
like to see happen? I would propose we decide on the number of slots 
we'd like to dedicate to case studies or other in the field oriented 
presentations and, for now, directly invite those we would like to present.

Establishing a CFP process quickly would be welcome, as I believe we 
will have more speaking slots to fill at the KVM Forum + oVirt workshop 
at LinuxCon Europe. I'm getting specifics on the schedule for that from 
the Linux Foundation and will return with an update when I have more 
details.

Cheers,
LH
