[ovirt-users] Welcome: New ovirt.org website!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Following yesterday's pre-launch email[1], I'm happy to announce that the new ovirt.org[2] website is now live in **public beta** and available for community review. All the information in this email is also available in the first blog post of our shiny new oVirt blog[3]. Read on for information about new features, known issues, and a call for reviews. The old MediaWiki site is still available in read-only[4], and will be taken offline on **March 1, 2016**. This is to ensure that you can compare pages and review migrated content. What's New == The new Website is full of improvements and enhancements, check out these highlights: * Source content is now formatted in Markdown instead of MediaWiki. This means that you can create and edit documentation, blog posts, and feature pages with the same Markdown syntax you know. * The Website is deployed with Middleman and stored on GitHub. This means that you can make changes to content with the same GitHub contribution workflow that you know (fork, clone, edit, commit, submit pull request). We even have an "Edit this page on GitHub" link at the bottom of every page! * New layout and design, from breadcrumbs to sidebards and an upgraded landing page. (This is still WIP, please see known issues.) * Automatic redirects from the old MediaWiki site. This means that if the wiki page exists in the new website, previously-released URLs will redirect to that page. If the page was removed, the Search page will open with the page title auto-filled in the search box. * Hierarchical content structure. This means that instead of flat Wiki-style files, the deployed Website reflects an organized source repo with content sorted into directories and sub-directories. * Official oVirt blog! Our new blog welcomes contributions. This means that if you solved a problem with oVirt, want to share your oVirt story, or describe a cool integration, you can submit a pull request with a blog post and we will provide editorial reviews and help publish your posts. * Standardized contribution process. The GitHub repo now includes a README.md[5] file that you can use to learn about how to add and edit content on the website. We welcome pull requests! Known Issues Despite our best efforts, there are still a few kinks with the new website that you should be aware of: * Attempting to navigate to ovirt.org (without www.) leads to a redirect loop. We have a ticket open with OpenShift, our hosting service to fix this. * Only http is available. We also have a ticket with OpenShift to add SSL and enable https. * Home page and Download page are still being upgraded by our UX experts, expect some cool new changes soon! * Feature pages look-and-feel is still under construction. You can still edit and push feature pages as usual. What's Next === Even though the Website is live, the work is hardly over. We'd like to ask for your help in: * Reviewing content for anything obsolete or outdated (each page in the new website includes a header toolbar with metadata from the original wiki page for your convenience) * Submitting blog posts or any other content that you wish to share with the oVirt community * Reporting bugs and proposing enhancements, for example broken links or missing pages We hope you will enjoy the new oVirt Website, looking forward to your feedback and contributions!

[ovirt-users] Coming (Very) Soon - New ovirt.org Website & Deprecated Wiki
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 In the past months we've been working on upgrading the oVirt project infrastructure, to better support the community contributions. One of the main platforms for our user documentation, release management content, and community content has been the MediaWiki site that you all know as ovirt.org. Most of us are familiar with the wiki site format, with all its advantages and disadvantages. After several years of serving the community, I'm happy to announce that we are very near to completing a full upgrade of the website infrastructure from a wiki site to a static site, source-controlled on GitHub and authored in Markdown. This email is the pre-launch announcement, as we are reaching the final stages of the migration, and there are a few actions that might affect your work on website content in the meantime. Why migrate the website === As mentioned, wiki sites provide an open and flexible content editing platform. Unfortunately, as the site grows the content becomes quite difficult to manage and curate, resulting in lots of obsolete, outdated, and incorrect information. By moving to a source-controlled repository and implementing GitHub's contribution workflow, we strive to ease the work of maintaining an up-to-date content site, employ a peer-review process for changes, and standardize the authoring markup language to lower the contribution barrier. The Middleman framework (Ruby-based static site generator) was chosen based on observing successful implementation of other open-source community websites, such as OpenStack RDO, Project Atomic, and Gluster. What we did so far == When we started the migration, our Web design team exported all of the wiki content from the old website and converted it to MD files. They also set up the website config flow, auto-deploy, and upgraded the look-and-feel of the website. We then initiated a content review effort as well as a UX review for the new website in a smaller forum, which caught most of the critical issues with the new website and helped us get the new format to a place where we can release the website in a near-GA/public-beta format. Yesterday (Wednesday Feb 17) we exported the website one more time and currently we're running a diff on all the files that changed since the initial export was done, to make sure we grab all the updates and the latest content before we launch the new website. What is about to happen === Today we are initiating a **wiki freeze**, which means the old MediaWiki site will become read-only. This is to ensure that all of our diff scripts reflect the most current state of the content on the website, and that we don't lose any content in the transition. Barring any unexpected blockers, we will port the ovirt.org domain to point to the new website and open the new website for contributions on **Monday February 22** or earlier. What do you need to do right now If you have any wiki pages that you're actively editing, please don't save them to the old MediaWiki site, and hold onto your pending changes until we send the happy launch email. We will also include instructions on how to contribute/edit/add content to the new website, but in general the workflow will be aligned with the standard GitHub best practices (clone-edit-commit-pullrequest), so you can utilize all of the git commands that you already know or work directly within the GitHub web editor. I'd like to thank all of the people who were involved with this migration so far, ovirt.org is a big website with lots of content and it was no small task to upgrade it. Please feel free to ping me on- or off-list if you have any questions about the next steps, and expect a happy launch email soon!

FOSDEM 2016 is just a few short weeks away, and I'm happy to share with you the full details about our community presence at the conference. === Virt & IaaS Devroom === Just a reminder that the full schedule is published on the FOSDEM website[1], and we have some great presentations from our community members for you to learn from. === oVirt/Foreman Stand === This year we will share a stand with our friends from the Foreman project. Stop by to say hello, grab swag, and enjoy some cool demos! **STAND VOLUNTEERS WANTED** If you're attending FOSDEM and would like to help us out, we'd love to have you there! This is a great opportunity to chat about oVirt with FOSDEM attendees and meet other community members from all over the world. Special surprise swag is reserved for booth volunteers! Please sign up for booth shifts in the etherpad[2] (lines 11-33). One of our core contributors will also be at the booth to support and co-pilot each shift. === Social Event on Saturday === In previous years, we had informal social gatherings for our community members on Saturday evening. These evenings are yet another excellent opportunity to meet and chat with the oVirt community outside the hectic FOSDEM venue. This year we'd like to hold an event again if there is enough demand, so please write your name/IRCnick/Twitter/G+/email in the etherpad[2] (line 86 and down) **by January 15**. If there is enough interest, we will reserve a nice pub in the center of Brussels and buy the first round :) See you in Brussels!

[ovirt-users] FOSDEM16 Virt & IaaS Devroom CFP Extension, Speaker Mentoring, CoC
The CFP for the Virtualization & IaaS devroom at FOSDEM 2016 is in full swing, and we'd like to share a few updates with you: - Speaker Mentoring Program - As a part of the rising efforts to grow our communities and encourage a diverse and inclusive conference ecosystem, we're happy to announce that we'll be offering mentoring for newcomer speakers. Our mentors can help you with tasks such as reviewing your abstract, reviewing your presentation outline or slides, or practicing your talk with you. You may apply to the mentoring program as a newcomer speaker if you: * Never presented before or * Presented only lightning talks or * Presented full-length talks at small meetups (<50 ppl) Submission guidelines: * Mentored presentations will have 25-minute slots, where 20 minutes will include the presentation and 5 minutes will be reserved for questions. * The number of newcomer session slots is limited, so we will probably not be able to accept all applications. * You must submit your talk and abstract to apply for the mentoring program, our mentors are volunteering their time and will happily provide feedback but won't write your presentation for you! If you are experiencing problems with Pentabarf, the proposal submission interface, or have other questions, you can email iaas-virt-devroom at lists.fosdem.org and we will try to help you. How to apply: * Follow the same procedure to submit an abstract in Pentabarf as standard sessions. Instructions can be found in our original CFP announcement: http://community.redhat.com/blog/2015/10/call-for-proposals-fosdem16-virtualization-iaas-devroom/ * In addition to agreeing to video recording and confirming that you can attend FOSDEM in case your session is accepted, please write "speaker mentoring program application" in the "Submission notes" field, and list any prior speaking experience or other relevant information for your application. Call for mentors! Interested in mentoring newcomer speakers? We'd love to have your help! Please email iaas-virt-devroom at lists.fosdem.org with a short speaker bio and any specific fields of expertise (for example, KVM, OpenStack, storage, etc) so that we can match you with a newcomer speaker from a similar field. Estimated time investment can be as low as a 5-10 hours in total, usually distributed weekly or bi-weekly. Never mentored a newcomer speaker but interested to try? Our mentoring program coordinator will be happy to answer your questions and give you tips on how to optimize the mentoring process. Email us and we'll be happy to answer your questions! - CFP Deadline Extension - To help accommodate the newcomer speaker proposals, we have decided to extend the deadline for submitting proposals by one week. The new deadline is **TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8 @ midnight CET**. - Code of Conduct - Following the release of the updated code of conduct for FOSDEM[1], we'd like to remind all speakers and attendees that all of the presentations and discussions in our devroom are held under the guidelines set in the CoC and we expect attendees, speakers, and volunteers to follow the CoC at all times. If you submit a proposal and it is accepted, you will be required to confirm that you accept the FOSDEM CoC. If you have any questions about the CoC or wish to have one of the devroom organizers review your presentation slides or any other content for CoC compliance, please email iaas-virt-devroom at lists.fosdem.org and we will do our best to help you out.

[ovirt-users] Community Newsflash: Local oVirt events
As a part of the community activities for 2016, I'm excited to share with you that we'll be boosting local oVirt activities in a city near you! === What is a "local oVirt event"? === Local events include (but are not limited to) meetups, workshops, or hackathons, focused on bringing oVirt users and contributors together to share stories, celebrate milestones, learn something new, or collaborate on oVirt projects. We're also hoping to collaborate with other open-source user and developer groups, much like our upcoming oVirt/Foreman meetup in London[1]. === Where will these events happen? === Anywhere you are! oVirt is a global community and we're happy to support our regional users and contributors all around the world. Suggestions for cities where you'd like to see the oVirt community get together and grow are welcome, but we need your help to make it happen! === How can we make it happen? === At the core of any local technology event is the local community. Sadly, I am not yet omnipresent, so I probably won't be able to personally organize or attend all of these wonderful future events. If you would like to: * Help to coordinate a meetup, workshop, or hackathon in your city * Give a workshop or a talk about an oVirt-related topic at a local user or developer group (cross-project integration sessions are especially welcome!) * Lead a sprint or hackfest on an oVirt project or task * Subscribe to eve...@ovirt.org[1] and introduce yourself. This list will be used to brainstorm, coordinate, and discuss ideas for oVirt-related events. NOTE: Official event announcements will be made to annou...@ovirt.org[2], so if you just want to be notified of upcoming events, you can subscribe to that list instead. Looking forward to meeting you!
