probably a few months till we do a formal release. but as we say - patches welcome. small note that this is (obviously) a community project. you can of course deploy it in production environment, but usually the for a production environment you would want a supported version (in this case, something like RHEV-M)
Thanks in advance,
Jose.

It is a pity, we are losing a lot of business because small-medium sized businesses cannot afford to pay for "expensive" (they cost what they offer but many times you don't need it all) licenses like those from vmWare, citrix and RedHat. I am basically looking for an open source High availabiklity-enabled virtualization platform... oVirt seems exactly what I am looking for but I cannot offer it right now to my clients :-(... let's then wait a bit. Any roadmap or timeline in mind?.

My advice if you want to make oVirt suitable for your clients is to get some people helping with the project. Start submitting patches, and help to get oVirt where it needs to be so that you can use it for your clients. Be a contributor and not just a consumer. Asking on list "when will everyone else do the work so I can benefit" is not the Open Source way :)

Hi Perry, I agree, I will be delighted to actively help with the Project. The main problem is that I have no much spare time ... but If I can help somewhat, please let me know ;-).

I'm confused by this email. It sounds like you say below that you are "losing a lot business" because you don't have a free solution that you can charge your customers for but you don't have time to contribute to help make one. If you want to charge customers for oVirt then it seems appropriate to contribute. ----- Original Message -----
