[Users] Looking for help: Demo videos

Hey everyone:

I've made a screencast of creating VMs in oVirt 3.1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4gayV6dYK4

I wrote a blog post about the tools and process I used: http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/screencasting-ovirt/

Now that I have the process down (and my oVirt 3.1 rig in shape), I'll do a few more of these before the 3.1 launch.

Regards, Jason
