RFC: oVirt NetApp workshop Call for Content

[Dave Neary]

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.
