How are we going to decide on these features we want to demo? Also some
of the features like Glusterfs integration might be to complex for a 5
to 10 min video.

Sounding like a good overview now it is time to get into the mud and
figure out how to implement that.

Well I think you have already hit one of the most useful ones.
1) VM migrations
Other simple idea that might make useful video's are.
2) The Log Collector (engine-log-collector), Maybe even showing the
creation of a BZ report?
3) Uploading ISO (engine-iso-uploader), May be a little simple but we
could combine with getting the ISO for windows drivers?
4) How to upload images (engine-image-uploader) or Migrating from
another system using something like virt-v2v / virt-p2v
5) Cloning a Virtual Machine from a Snapshot.
6) Creating Templates
7) Pinning Virtual Machines to specific physical CPUs
8) Setup multiple networks showing how to activate and connecting to a
hosts.
9) Adding storage domains? Building a data center?
10) Exporting VM for backup or moving to another data center.
