Now, attention is shifting again towards new features and enhancements General directions: * Francesco: the backport queue is almost empty, so is resuming janitorial work and started an experimental project to support containers with libvirt-like API - https://github.com/mojaves/convirt * MartinPolednik: pushing the final bits to his 'cpuarch/cpuinfo' topic. Most patches are in; after a great infrastructure cleanup, time to tackle the hooks themselves - https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:vdsm+branch:master+topic... * Milan: is working on debian packaging, and resuming janitorial work (vmdevices cleanup) - no specific topic * Shahar: is working on extending v2v to support Xen - https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:vdsm+branch:master+topic... * Vinzenz: more bugfixes for Guest Agent, started working on Guest Lifecycle Events (and Hooks). - https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:vdsm+branch:master+topic...
