I got some great responses from people on the list when I asked what they were using oVirt for - perhaps you/we could invite someone to do an oVirt user case study or two? That would be an interesting session to me. I think this plan would be wonderful. We haven't yet establish a CFP process or other means to do this outreach formally. What would folks like to see happen? I would propose we decide on the number of slots we'd like to dedicate to case studies or other in the field oriented presentations and, for now, directly invite those we would like to present. Establishing a CFP process quickly would be welcome, as I believe we will have more speaking slots to fill at the KVM Forum + oVirt workshop at LinuxCon Europe. I'm getting specifics on the schedule for that from the Linux Foundation and will return with an update when I have more details.

I think we should prepare the survey in advance of the next workshop and ask people to fill it out during the workshop, rather than coming back a couple weeks after the fact. I have an attendee list from the Linux Foundation for each workshop, so if we'd like to get the survey out this week it can happen. I believe I can also find a resource to translate the survey into Japanese, though that would mean a delay in sending it out. Some suggested questions, I'd pare down to no more than 5. - What was your favorite talk? - What could we do to improve? - Were the talks too long? Too short? - Was the presentation material clear to you? - Are you currently using or interested in using oVirt? - Are you interested in contributing to the oVirt community? Cheers, LH If you think it's worth it, then go for it. Feedback is always good. I definitely think it's worth it and the Linux Foundation has graciously agreed to include our questions in their post-event attendee survey. Here are the questions we've asked, along with a request to the LF to help us word the text in such a way that it is clear to attendees who do not speak English as their first language: oVirt: Did you attend the oVirt workshop? If yes: 1) What talk(s) were most useful to you? 2) What can we do to improve the workshop? 3) Was the presentation material clear to you? 4) Are you or your organization currently using or interested in using oVirt? 5) Would you like to contribute to the oVirt community?

(N.B.: This message was copied to users@ovirt.org but I am not clear if my subscription was approved. If you happen to note that this message did not get to that list, let me know.) Hello everyone, I am a new(ish) hire at Red Hat working on Carl Trieloff's team. I will be attending tomorrow's oVirt IRC meeting to provide an update on upcoming oVirt workshops, but in the interim wanted to circulate a proposed agenda. Please note that we're planning one day workshops at LinuxCon Japan, North America and Europe, as well as a 2 day workshop at NetApp HQ in California (target date 8 and 9th August 2012). As we're discussing workshop agendas for the one day events, it would be good to have an idea of what we'd like to present given the additional day. Here is a *very* preliminary agenda: - intro arch - engine, vdsm deep dives - storage roadmap/discussion - network roadmap/discussion Open Questions: 1) What other topics should be covered during the workshop? 2) Who would like to volunteer to be an instructor?
