[ovirt-users] Re: Any plans on oVirt Major release with new feature?

I have some good news to share, and that is that we will continue working on oVirt! As we want to keep development active, we can share that we have an open position to work on oVirt now: https://careers.team.blue/jobs/4597190-java-python-developer-virtualizati... If somebody would be interested, feel free to contact me directly. But you can expect more and more patches from our side hopefully :) And hopefully some other companies jump the ship and get oVIrt development up-to-speed again! As there is no (open source) alternative at this moment that comes even close to oVirt.

Nobody stepped in to lead the next major release development.
