I'm really delighted to see this, it's something that will help us improve
our infrastructure and make it more sustainable over time. Community
engagement always welcome on this.

One note: we do have slideshare channels and youtube to host presentations
and videos, I am more than happy to help move things across, and we can put
links in RTD, the main gluster.org site and the blog to get more exposure.
