Abstracts due: Sep 14th, 2012
Notification: Sep 28th, 2012

Please submit a short abstract (~150 words) describing your presentation
proposal.  In your submission please note how long your talk will take.
Slots vary in length up to 45 minutes.  Also include in your proposal
the proposal type -- one of:

- technical talk

- birds of a feather (BOF) session

Submit your proposal here:

http://events.linuxfoundation.org/cfp

You will receive a notification whether or not your presentation proposal
was accepted by Sep 14th.

END-USER COLLABORATION

One of the big challenges as developers is to know what, where and how
people actually use our software.  We will reserve a few slots for end
users talking about their deployment challenges and achievements.

If you are using oVirt in production you are encouraged submit a speaking
proposal.  Simply mark it as an end-user collaboration proposal.  As an
end user, this is a unique opportunity to get your input to developers.

BOF SESSION

We will reserve some slots in the evening after the main conference
tracks, for birds of a feather (BOF) sessions. These sessions will be
less formal than presentation tracks and targetted for people who would
like to discuss specific issues with other developers and/or users.
If you are interested in getting developers and/or uses together to
discuss a specific problem, please submit a BOF proposal.

LIGHTNING TALKS

In addition to submitted talks we will also have some room for lightning
talks. These are short (5 minute) discussions to highlight new work or
ideas that aren't complete enough to warrant a full presentation slot.
Lightning talk submissions and scheduling will be handled on-site at
oVirt Workshop.

HOTEL / TRAVEL

The oVirt Workshop Europe 2012 will be held in Barcelona, Spain at the
Hotel Fira Palace.

The submission deadline is being pushed out one week to Sep 21st, 2012.

There was a glitch in the CFP system causing the oVirt Workshop option
during CFP submission to disappear.  It has been fixed and we're going
to extend the submission deadline by one week to accommodate.  If you
were having trouble submitting a proposal, please try again.  Sorry for
any inconvenience.
