Hi, let me try to answer your questions: As of today, there's no discussion about a new major release neither on devel mailing list nor on users mailing list. Nobody stepped in to lead the next major release development. I think this is a good thread for those companies who are thinking about putting some effort on oVirt sharing their plans. I wrote a blog post about the future of oVirt around 2 years ago here: https://blogs.ovirt.org/2022/02/future-of-ovirt-february-2022/ ; nothing really changed since then. Despite no major release is currently being planned, yes, oVirt development is still continuing. As an example here are the commits since last release of oVirt Engine package: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/compare/ovirt-engine-4.5.6...master You can find something here: https://www.ovirt.org/community/user-stories/users-and-providers.html ; I guess there are others who probably will reply to you in private. Hope it helps, -- Sandro Bonazzola

Think you should ask the OKD community for that no? :) On 11/06/2024 18:28, Nathanaël Blanchet wrote: > Thank you for this excellent new, looking forward to seeing what will > happen. > > Can you tell me if some ovirt derivated projects such as OKD/openshift > IPI oVirt provider and ovirt CSI drivers have any chance to be > maintained again?

Jean-Louis perhaps your team can post a message with short/long term plans about 4.5.6 release (EL8 still in scope? EL9 appliance?) and 4.6 release (EL10 support?). Perhaps a list of nice to have where any other company or individual contributor may want to volunteer helping with? Perhaps triaging / targeting: - Untargeted PRs (no milestone set) https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+user%3Aovirt+archived%3Afals... - Untargeted issues(no milestone set) https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Aovirt+archived%3A... -- Sandro Bonazzola
