The openQRM team is marching south to the 10th anniversary of Linux.conf.au, this year hosted by the University of Tasmania in Hobart !

Here a short overview about the news coverage of the openQRM 4.2 release.

One highlight is of course Michael Cote (industry analyst from Redmonk) interviewing John Willis. From the 44. minutes they are talking 10 minutes about openQRM. Really worth to listen !

Virtualization.com reported about our 4.2 release with the Cloud Computing Add-on.

Next to our new build-farm for the openQRM binary package releases (which now also cares to compile 32- and 64bit packages) the public openQRM Image-shelf server got updated with lots of additional pre-made server-images for different linux distributions. Here a list of currently available server-images :

Debian-40-etch-32-minimal.tar.gz
Debian-40-etch-64-minimal.tar.gz
Debian-40-etch-64-LAMP.tar.gz
openSUSE-103-32-minimal.tar.gz
openSUSE-103-64-minimal.tar.gz
openSUSE-103-64-LAMP.tar.gz
openSUSE-110-32-minimal.tar.gz
openSUSE-110-64-minimal.tar.gz

Between all the feature-implementation and release work for the 4.2 version, we finally found the time to give the openQRM project website a professional and fresh design. We moved to Drupal which makes the site now much easier to update and maintain. Thanks for this task are going to Stefan Riedel (for the site design), to Steve Robbert (for the new openQRM logo) and to the well-known core team members Thomas Halinka (for the setup and hosting of the openQRM domains) and Alexander Kuballa (for design work plus the final cosmetics).

One more Virtualization technology integrated within openQRM

(16.09.2008) After the initial 4.0 release of the "next generation" of openQRM, re-written in PHP, the new release comes with some nice new features. e.g. support for KVM-Virtualization was added and an image-shelf plugin now provides ready-made and ready-to-deploy server-images to get started easily.

An introduction video giving a basic overview about this next generation of openQRM.
