Latest on the oVirt 3.1 recently released. Also latest on what the 
future direction of oVirt and especially if someone can cover what the 
latest on VDSM Storage side of things... Repository engines, SDM, Mixing 
of storage domains etc.


***

Understand what it is and how it works including its various features so 
that as a tester I can come up with good tests.

***

Knowledge, people networking and fun?


***

mostly on how to use oVirt with respect to quickly deploying images 
across systems

***

1. Overview of oVirt,
2. How well it matches up to the existing virtualization management 
stack from competitors, esp vSphere, and others?
3. How well can it integrate with cloud management stack like Openstack 
and others?
4. What are the existing gaps in the management stack based out of KVM 
hypervisor that is available in the market and how oVirt can probably be 
the answer to all the confusion/gaps that is seen in the current 
Management stack around KVM.
5. oVirt being an open-source version of RHEVM (if my understanding is 
correct), can other companies tailor & sell oVirt as their offerings. 
What's the licensing like?
