    2. There has been some discussion on the length of the oVirt Workshop track in this year's KVM Forum. Right now, it will be at least a full day, but if we get a bunch more oVirt sessions, then I can make the argument to try to expend the track's length. (ydary, 14:59:41)
    3. CFP for All Things Open in Raleigh on Oct. 18-20. gshereme has expressed interest in doing a Workshop there. This would be a good, and could fill the need to do a Workshop in Dublin around LinuxCon EU. CfP for ATO closes on April 30 Details: http://bit.ly/1FUKYRv. (ydary, 15:00:42)
    4. LinuxCon EU, CfP for that event on Oct. 5-7 in Dublin, Ireland (and the co-located CloudOpen) is now open as well. CfP closes on June 17, so there is time, but don't let it slip. http://events.linuxfoundation.org//events/linuxcon-europe/program/cfp (ydary, 15:01:07)
    5. FISL16 in Porto Allegre, Brazil CfP closes soon (March 30) http://segue.fisl16.softwarelivre.org/#/. Any devs in the region are encouraged to attend this event. bkp id planning on attending Latinoware in Brazil later in 2015, so oVirt will have some presentation in South America this year. (ydary, 15:01:50)

  6. other topics (ydary, 15:02:24)
    1. Automated conversion of oVirt.org from MediaWiki to MarkDown is proceeding. Most of the content is coming across fine, with some overly complicated documents (such as ones with tables and footnotes) needing a little extra post-conversion work. The big issue is ensuring all documents are properly categorized so they show up in the correct site topography when we are done. (ydary, 15:03:12)
    2. ACTION: If you have input on the tools to be presented in the new site, please let me know. So far, confirmed new additions include an oVirt-specific blog and some sort of Q&A forum, such as Ask or a StackOverflow-based forum. Feedback welcome! (ydary, 15:03:41)
    3. till looking for case studies/users to highlight. itamar has pointed out a lot, but if you work with any oVirt users from new and interesting organizations, point them out to me. (ydary, 15:04:01)
    4. ACTION: Still looking for case studies/users to highlight. Itamar has pointed out a lot, but if you work with any oVirt users from new and interesting organizations, point them out to me. (ydary, 15:04:23)
