Re: [Users] Expected release for complete ovirt?
I'm confused by this email.
It sounds like you say below that you are "losing a lot business" because you
don't have a free solution that you can charge your customers for but you don't
have time to contribute to help make one. If you want to charge customers for oVirt then
it seems appropriate to contribute.

Hi Perry,
I agree, I will be delighted to actively help with the Project. The
main
problem is that I have no much spare time ... but If I can help
somewhat,
please let me know ;-).
Regards,
Jose.

My advice if you want to make oVirt suitable for your clients is to
get some
people helping with the project. Start submitting patches, and help
to get
oVirt where it needs to be so that you can use it for your clients.
Be a contributor and not just a consumer. Asking on list "when will
everyone else do the work so I can benefit" is not the Open Source
way :)
