> 
> 3) Updated slide set (Robyn)
>   * Things to update:
>     * Consistent feedback has been:
>       * How do we envision the board - when is the board elected - etc.
>       * Info on board being fluid, larger, more board members
>       * NEED TO: Crisp up slides that clarify board role and members
>     * How does this relate to OpenStack, other projects that may be a
> conflict
>       * Need to be clear about why it's not a conflict
>       * Define plans on interaction with other communities
>       * NEED TO add FAQ or slide to stack re: Other communities.
>     * Slides around deliverables - define what RHEV was or IS
>     * Need to update with current board members, schedule., workshop
info.

> participants, esp. to get participation in the initial workshop.

>     * Action pending Robyn/Andy update of original slide deck.
> 
> 4) OpenStack discussion (added mid-meeting)
>   * Everyone in industry has joined
>   * Why are we competing
>   * IBM doesn't want support/sponsorship of oVirt to say anything about
> what they are doing or plan to do with OpenStack.
>   * Team Thoughts:
>     * We may be conflicting at some point
>     * OS is not nearly as open of a community, really only 2 companies
> rep'd on board
>     * More of a cloud vendor solution, oVirt more of a data center virt
> solution
>     * OpenStack not as concerned with Data Center solutions
>     * OpenStack can build on top of oVirt, in addition to Nova
>     * We are KVM specific
>     * We don't restrict our scope - open to a wide range of
contributions
>     * Key differentiator - we are focused on building a community from
> the ground up, that develops the open source projecss and projects,
> board is not restricting/driving direction
>     * Following the Open Source Way
>   * Action: Karsten to drive mailing discussion on
> positioning/differentiation, interaction with other communities.
>   * Jim J. happy to take lead on any specific community questions people
> have.
