Re: OpenVZ variant

Hi Scott,

we are in the process of bootstrapping the Virtualization SIG and are 
working with the CentOS community to set it up. The intention is to work 
with anyone who has an interest to bring a specific virtualization 
technology to CentOS and who is willing to put enough time in to make 
their bit work. A lot of details are still open, such as whether there 
would be one CentOS virt variant covering all virt technologies (which 
is preferable to having several for a number of reasons), infrastructure 
questions, versions of packages for qemu, libvirt, ... interfaces to 
other SIGs and many more.

The next step is to set up the first meeting. We will make a proposal 
for dates and format shortly. I was out of the office for a while and am 
only just catching up with things that happened in the last month (such 
as the approval of the virt SIG).

I am not aware of anyone from the OpenVZ community at this stage.

To be honest, I don't have a clue. The steps you have already taken 
should certainly give you an indication on how much interest there may 
be from the OpenVZ community. And possibly someone on this list may 
respond.

A good place to start would be to participate in our first meeting and 
on the list and take things from there. As an aside, I only just got 
write access to the wiki and we will be updating some of the information 
related the SIG (which is currently out-of-date).

Best Regards
Lars

I just noticed that the CentOS Virt-SIG page already mentions OpenVZ.  Is this only for the upcoming CentOS 7 or would it be possible to produce a spin/remix that is CentOS 6-based that includes the OpenVZ kernel and OpenVZ utils?
