[Users] CfP: Virtualisation and IaaS DevRoom at FOSDEM'14

[Dave Neary]

Hi,

A reminder to everyone, we're getting close to the deadline! I would
love to see some dev/DevOps-focussed presentations about oVirt at the
conference. Again, I would love to see some oVirt users propose topics
about how the use, manage and deploy oVirt in real life circumstances.

Some ideas I think might get in, if you've done any of these and are
interested in presenting, let me know:

* Using Foreman/Puppet/Ansible/... with the oVirt APIs & CLI to
orchestrate & provision VMs on oVirt
* Using oVirt for VDI
* Migrating from vSphere to oVirt
* Using VDSM hooks and scripts to tweak VM lifecycle management
* Storage - how to add a new storage engine type to oVirt (using
libgfapi support as an example, perhaps?)

Thanks!
Dave.
