first oVirt Project workshop - where, when

[Karsten Wade]

We need to decide where and when to have the first oVirt workshop.

So far, the focus has been on end of October or in November. Suggested
locations:

* Linuxcon Europe - Prague 26 - 28 October 2011
  http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-europe
* Silicon Valley, CA, USA (at Intel?)
* London, UK
* Portland, OR, USA? (at Intel)
* Your suggestion?

Goals are (please add/fix):

* Draw large initial attention - maximum buzz.
* Be wide open to the world.
* Introduce the project and architecture, do a key component walk
  through.
* Technical & leadership breakouts.
* Be most useful for developers in oVirt:
** Hackathon.
** How-to sessions?
** Write the Big Schedule/roadmap for the year.
* Be also useful and interesting for these audiences:
** Organizations of all sizes that are potential contributors.
** Developers who work on top of or with oVirt technologies.
** Systems and IT people who want to keep track of and influence the
   future of open virtualization.
** Anyone interested in getting real work done in the open
   virtualization space.

This would be the first of probably annual or twice-a-year events for
planning the oVirt roadmaps across various sub-projects.

In addition, there might be regular (monthly?) developer meetup events
with a strong workshop/hackfest theme.
