I think he may have meant, how much interest the Virt SIG has in recieving contributions from the OpenVZ community; and I think the answer to that is, very much. :-) Lars and I both work with the Xen Project, and so obviously have much more experience with Xen than OpenVZ; and most of my own engineering time will go towards Xen. But we (and the CentOS board) are committed to running it as an inclusive project. -George
