Just to follow up on this. I'll take the offer for the room on the
27th and 28th. I've been told the room will seat around 30 classroom
style. Any suggestions for what we should have as content? One day
hackathon, one day developer training? Two days of hackathon?
Something else?

As a someone new to open source cloud platforms (Xen, KVM, etc) and new to CloudStack I'd like to see the space used to host an introduction to CloudStack with a hands-on lab (if I had three wishes to use).
Just my $0.02,

Just to clarify: I propose a bootcamp-style overview with...
* an introduction - "this what CS does."
* some architecture review - "these are all the pieces to CS."
* operational review - "this is how the different pieces of CS interact."
* best practices - "do this with CS. don't do that."

Robert:
I added some additional content here on things I'd be willing to
discuss and help with.
Others: This schedule is completely flexible, we can do whatever with
this time, so if there is something you'd like to see or discuss, lets
talk about it now and get it on the books.

Sorry took a bit longer than it should have, here is the start:
http://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/COMM/Meetup+at+LinuxCon+NA
Whomever requested the hands on demo, can you please indicate a
preferred time and date and we'll get it added to the agenda table as well.
Other topics?

I'd like to see us have a discussion about packaging for various
distros, discuss dependencies, build system, possibly a follow on to
Alex's proposal
(http://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/dev/New+Packaging+Proposal) and
things related to these topics. Maybe a 2 hour session for these topics.
As more and more stuff is getting co-located with LinuxCon and the days
earlier in the week I am not certain there'll be a lot of people that
can devote a whole day to CloudStack, thus having somewhat of a time
plan may be advantageous as people can slip in and out.
