Hi RK,
For the main track, presentations are usually either "sexy" or are given by people who are well known. I think that the presentation you propose would not meet the standard. What could you change to "sexy" it up?

Hi Dave, I would like to give a presentation on Introduction to Virtualization and the role of oVirt in Virtualization. Please let me know whether it will meet the expectation of FOSDEM or not.

FOSDEM has a great crowd - very techie, very free software friendly, and very interested in new stuff. They have a main auditorium that holds 1000 people and they fill it for talks like "Tales from the Trenches of Kernel Development", "FreePlug - a Linux server in a Plug", "Amateur rocketry"... They also have a dazzling array of DevRooms, rooms with a capacity ranging from 30 people up to 300 or 400, on topics like embedded Linux platforms, the Free Desktop, legal topics in free software, telephony, etc. This year, I believe that Itamar proposed a Virtualisation DevRoom, and I hope that it gets accepted (notifications should be going out soon). DevRooms all organise their content independently - when they are announced, I'll let people know so that we can get some good submissions in for aligned topics, and if we're running a virt DevRoom, of course I'll help spread the word for that. But I would really like to see us run one or two introduction-level presentations on oVirt and virtualisation, aimed at this audience (that is, an audience of people who all own several computers!). Someone who can outline, in 45 minutes, the problems that oVirt solves, the basics of how it works, the community around the project... Who do we have who would be willing and able to give such a presentation? The deadline for main track submissions is November 1st: https://fosdem.org/2013/call___for_main_speakers.html <https://fosdem.org/2013/call_for_main_speakers.html> Thanks!
