Hello,
I have read several pessimistic posts of you, each time to be against the decisions of the ovirt community that you disagree. In general, my thoughts are that you want the community to be responsible for the Redhat descisions.
Like you I find RHV end of support very sad, but I unlike you I believe oVirt is so an incredible software, and also an example of opensource success project that, I do believe, will survive thanks to awesome people who have been contributing it for 10 years. Other downstream projects like OLVM decided to switch from Xen to KVM.
I've been working with ovirt since the very beginning in a large production success. Every people in my IT team are convinced that oVit makes our IT very stable and flexible (more than 300 VMs), and we convinced some partner to adopt it as well. My pain is that the oVirt project is underrated in comparison of the quality of the code, but you and I are actors of its popularity. I initially was not a developer, but thanks to oVirt, I'm now able to write complex playbooks for automatic deployments, as well I'm able now to debug python code. What I mean is that the project depends on the community members contribution, each one with his own capacity. For my own, I can help many beginners on the mailing list with simple tips as well as some others can translate into other languages.
Yes, I am aware of competitors projects like proxmox, xen and now XCP-NG. There is no perfect project. Everybody should be involved into a project that corresponds to its expectations.
In reality, I wonder about the goal of your posts, it seems that nothing goes into the good direction from your point of view... Did you contribute to change that? Did you pay anything to be so demanding?
Thank you to all community for providing such a wonderful software, and a specific mention to community leaders (Sandro?) and other contributors, we need positive attitudes.
If some beginners read my post, I want to tell them they are welcome, and they can be sure to find some quality into code, into updates, into innovation, into entreprise features, into mailing list support, and they are welcome to contribute to make virtualization greater and greater!
Thanks Nathanaël, this is a great post!
