I would commit to helping scripted installation into 2.4. I believe the
focus should be on a basic, entry-level VCL that is automatic from bare
metal to working system for those who are no so familiar with Linux.

Chris,
We don't have any surveys or anything like that. Things really just happen
through discussion on this list.

It would be nice to see IPv6 included for sure. We at Clemson are
definitely wanting that.
Hopefully this wasn't mentioned before and I missed it, but is there a spot
to vote on what features are important to the community? Like a survey or
something for interested parties?
Thanks for the great work, guys!

I like the idea of prioritizing items that are preventing people from
using
VCL. I'll move power management and Libcloud to 2.5. I think Spice will
be
taken care of with the work needed for NAT. Having Spice makes us more
competitive with commercial VDI solutions.

I think 2.4 should include the highest-priority items which currently
prevent some institutions/organizations from using VCL including:
-IPv6 support
-NAT support
-Single network interface support
Adding these makes the list for 2.4 ridiculously long. I would
suggest moving power management, Spice, and libcloud support to later
releases.
I think any feature can be worked on in the meantime if anyone is
interested in doing so, but completion should not prevent 2.4 from
being released.
I would also like to plan a 2.3.1 bug fix release targeted for early
to mid August, 2012.

Aaron,
At some point I would like to put IPv6 and NAPT on the list but I am
still working on the code. (I would prefer to follow in the footsteps
of the others and have something working to back it up so maybe we
don't want to put it on the schedule yet.)

Anyone else? This is a community decision :)

That ends up making the list of feature for 2.4 pretty long. How
about
splitting them up into two releases as follows:
VCL 2.3 (this release)
* Service deployments
* Allow for additional access methods for environments (port, other
protocols, etc)
* Added framework support for libvirt and specifically for KVM
* Added support for OS X under ESX
* Added support for VMware VCenter
* Added multilingualization to frontend
VCL 2.4
* Power management
* Improve additional access methods
* Support for Spice remote display protocol
* Scripted installation
* Support for ESX OS for end users
* Initial support for EC2 API and OpenStack
* Initial support for Libcloud
VCL 2.5
* Improve cluster reservations
* Service deployment configuration management
VCL 2.6
* develop tools for managing both system and user storage
The list for 2.4 is a little long, but several of the items have a
significant amount of the work already completed (largely by newer
people in the community - - yay!).

I would also like to see added to 2.4:
* support for ESX OS for end users - the work that Dmitri has done
* initial support for EC2 api, openstack, this could likely
include
the code that Cameron and Young have are working on
* initial support for libcloud

Previously, I had stated that I'd like to get a release candidate
cut
by
Wednesday of last week. We've been doing lots of testing and
finding
small
bugs here and there that have kept me from cutting the RC. As
soon
as we
stop finding bugs, I should be able to cut the RC.
In each release, we include a road map of where we want to go
with
the
next
few releases. The following is a starting point of what to
include.
Please let me know if there are any notable features that I left
off
of
2.3. Also, let me know what you think of the future features.
VCL 2.3 (this release)
* Service deployments
* Allow for additional access methods for environments (port,
other
protocols, etc)
* Added framework support for libvirt and specifically for KVM
* Added support for OS X under ESX
* Added support for VMware VCenter
* Added multilingualization to frontend
VCL 2.4
* Power management
* Improve cluster reservations
* Service deployment configuration management
* Support for Spice remote display protocol
* Scripted installation
VCL 2.5
* develop tools for managing both system and user storage
