Sandro, I am ever so glad you're fighting on, buon coraggio!
Thanks :-)
Yes, please write a blog post on how oVirt could develop without a
commercial downstream product that pays your salaries.
I have no magic recipe but I know oVirt is used in several universities
with computer science departments. If just 1 student for each of them would
contribute 1 patch per semester that would help keeping oVirt alive even
without any downstream company backing it.
And there are also people in this list like @Jean-Louis Dupond
<jean-louis(a)dupond.be> who are contributing fixes, latest is here
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/59 .
I don't want to write a book on how an opensource project can be healthy, I
believe there are already out there :-) .
It would indeed help if some company or foundation would show up and get
engaged with the project but this is not strictly needed for an open source
project to be alive.
Ideally you'd add a perspective for current HCI users, many of
which chose
this approach, because a fault-tolerant SAN or NAS wasn't available.
I'll let the storage team to answer here
And since most of us here will probably agree that PaaS is the future,
another post or a section on how a transition to OKD and KubeVirt could be
done for current oVirt users, would be great, too.
I'll work on this one for OKD Virtualization SIG.
