[ovirt-users] [ovirt-devel] Welcome: New ovirt.org website!

Tue Mar 15 16:39:40 UTC 2016

Hi Mikey,

Sorry for my late response - I'm very busy at the moment.
I created an issue on github: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/issues/135 - can't send a pull request as I couldn't figure out where the presentations are stored on the new site (couldn't find it on github)...

Regards,
René

Thanks Rene for the heads up! As I wrote, we welcome contributions, so
if you have the bandwidth to submit a PR with fixing the links it would
be really helpful. Otherwise, please open an issue for this on GitHub
and we'll try to route the task accordingly :)

Cheers,
Mikey
