[Users] oVirt features

[Dimitrije Zivkovic]

Thanks guy for such quick response...

1. For a start, I would be very interested in creating an ebuild files for
Gentoo. As I am not able to do much of  coding - lack of spare time due to
my job - I would like to at least try to help by creating ebuild files for
fellows "Larry fans" :)))  Will probably open a bug on bugs.gentoo.org so
that progress could be monitored there...

2. There is an article on wiki.gentoo.org already about oVirt (and please
don't laugh when You read it - those few sentences are written around
midnight last night, as a reminder :) ). I will write a proper article as
soon as I find the time, hopefully by the midnight tonight :))) Stay
tuned...

I think this is a project that has been missing for a long time - at least
I know I needed this kind of software - so I hope oVirt will mature quickly
enough. I hope that ovirt wiki will get a bit organized and maybe not so
fedora-centric down the line, but... quite good for a start... :)
