[ovirt-users] Local storage & shared in same cluster

[Sebastian Greco]

Thx for the advice Barak!

I was looking for a roadmap to follow, like the "trello" one used for the
openshift project https://trello.com/b/nlLwlKoz/atomicopenshift-roadmap but
I was not able to find one. I love to hear things like the "SPM was planned
to be removed" as it gives me a better understanding of the direction the
project has. Any good resource to follow this and other things to come?

Thanks again for the help!
