  7. conferences and workshops (bkp, 15:47:46)
    1. LISA14 went pretty well. Booth traffic was solid, gshereme and bkp answered a fair amount of general questions about oVirt, and talked to a lot of sysadmins with specific queries on oVirt. (bkp, 15:48:01)
    2. FOSDEM is the next big event. OSAS will be very much on the scene, and oVirt has applied for a booth at the event. There is still time to get your talks into the IaaS and Virt devrooms. (bkp, 15:48:05)
    3. Now that travel is wrapped up, I am working on getting meetup and workshop materials ready for anyone who wants to present on oVirt at a local event. (bkp, 15:48:09)
    4. 11th Intl. Conf. on Open Source Systems CFP Open Through Jan. 10 call for papers http://www.oss2015.org/call-for-papers/ (bkp, 15:50:45)

  8. other topics (bkp, 15:51:11)
    1. A big welcome to our new OPW interns! Be ready to assist with any of their questions as they lurk about the channel and the lists! (bkp, 15:51:23)
    2. It was brought to my attention this morning that ovirt.org/stats has not been working for a while. I have asked misc to look into it. (bkp, 15:51:26)
    3. Speaking of stats, downloads for oVirt engine in Oct. totaled 1460 from resources.ovirt.org. This is down from 2194 downloads in Sept. Likely now that 3.5 is rolling out, this trend will likely change. (bkp, 15:51:29)
    4. One of the big goals we should have for 2015 is figuring out a way to determine actual installs of oVirt. If anyone has ideas on how we can pull such information together, let's get a discussion going on the users mailing list. (bkp, 15:51:33)
    5. Finally, there is an informal survey out on the users mailing list now about extending oVirt support to Debian/Ubuntu. Got thoughts on this? Here's the thread: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-November/029209.html (bkp, 15:51:37)
