I like the VB website and particularly the use of MIT licence for their code
contribution policy - I've just finished writing a contribution policy to
cope with a collaboration and this site was useful.

As for Virtualization I'm a qemu, kqemu and kvm user. As with most things on
the Open Source cutting edge, once you have a working recipe tailored to your
requirements qemu and variants is very stable and performs well, in this case
mainly as a non critical server and development environment host. I'm
currently experimenting with the latest GUI virt-manager with kqemu, it's not
working properly just yet but I think I'm close.
