[ovirt-users] [ovirt-devel] Welcome: New ovirt.org website!

Tue Mar 8 15:13:48 UTC 2016

Thanks Rene for the heads up! As I wrote, we welcome contributions, so
if you have the bandwidth to submit a PR with fixing the links it would
be really helpful. Otherwise, please open an issue for this on GitHub
and we'll try to route the task accordingly :)

Cheers,
Mikey
