[ovirt-users] oVirt Community Newsletter: July-August, 2016

[Brian Proffitt]

Not sure how it was in your part of the world, but by golly it sure was hot
in North America. But the weather was no match for the global oVirt team,
who followed up on the June launch of oVirt 4.0 with solid new releases, a
new oVirt sub-project, and participation in the 2016 KVM Forum!

It's been a busy summer, so here's what happened in July and August 2016:
