Hi, Sandro,


What are plans for oVirt development and/or migrations for large users, for example Brussel Airport ?

I don't want to be rude, but this sounds to me like no developers
have shown interest in keeping oVirt alive. Is this true? Is no other
company actively developing oVirt anymore?

I've contacted directly all the companies with oVirt downstreams I was aware of.
I also contacted almost all the universities that asked for help in this mailing list.
I ended up contacting the major RHEL derivatives distributions.
So far nobody stepped in to take an active role on the oVirt project.
I saw some patches coming from individual contributors here and there but no company investment so far.

I appreciate the effort to make the source code accessible. However,
I'm also wondering: was any sort of governing organization established,
so that development could actually take place when RedHat pulls the
plug?

Yes, oVirt has an open governance: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/governance.html
Right now in the oVirt board other than Red Hat there's a member of the Caltech university https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/board.html
 

The answer to this is probably related to my previous question, whether
or not there are any non-RedHat developers involved.


Ciao
- Frank
