[ANN] oVirt 3.4.4 Release is now available
by Sandro Bonazzola
The oVirt development team is pleased to announce the general
availability of oVirt 3.4.4 as of Sep 23th 2014. This release
solidifies oVirt as a leading KVM management application and open
source alternative to VMware vSphere.
oVirt is available now for Fedora 19 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
(or similar).
This release of oVirt includes numerous bug fixes.
See the release notes [1] for a list of the new features and bugs fixed.
The existing repository ovirt-3.4 has been updated for delivering this
release without the need of enabling any other repository, however since we
introduced package signing you need an additional step in order to get
the public keys installed on your system if you're upgrading from an older release.
Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions.
Please note that mirrors will need a couple of days before being synchronized.
If you want to be sure to use latest rpms and don't want to wait for the mirrors,
you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.4.repo commenting the mirror line and
removing the comment on baseurl line.
A new oVirt Live ISO will be available too[2].

Registration Now Open for the oVirt Workshop, Oct. 16!
by Brian Proffitt
As oVirt strives to become the best open source and comprehensive data center virtualization management suite, and its community rapidly evolves and grows, one of the ways its vibrant community connects is through our Global Workshops. The events are conducted solely to introduce new users and veteran oVirt admins to new features and new techniques found in oVirt, as well as provide a forum for our users to connect directly with the development team behind oVirt.
With that in mind, we are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2014 oVirt Workshop[1]!
The 2014 oVirt workshop will be co-located with the KVM Forum[2] in Düsseldorf, Germany[3]on October 16, 2014. This workshop is designed to encourage collaboration in our community, lay the foundation for best practices in oVirt use, convey end-user stories, and help answer questions about the project from both a developer and user's perspective.
Attendees can register free-of-charge[4] to the Workshop alone, or, if attending LinuxCon EU[5], CloudOpen Europe[6], Embedded Linux Conference[7], or KVM Forum[8], can also add this free Workshop to their itineraries when registering.
We look forward to seeing you there!
