I'm curious to know if LibVirt & VirtManager is being developed only by RedHat employees only. If not, what is the process for developers who wish to contribute to these projects. Also, I'd like to know how and by whom decisions are made for new features to be included in these projects.

While Red Hat employees started the initial development in both projects, there have since been many many difference people involved in writing code for both - just take a look at the AUTHORS files and you'll see people from all over. The more diverse the group of people the better, because it means we get a wider range of views & use cases catered for. For anyone wishing to get involved, best bet is the mailing lists - this list for libvirt, or et-mgmt-tools@redhat.com for virt-manager[1]. There are open discussions about new features on the mailing list where anyone is free to take part. For libvirt there was a thread started by Daniel just last week to come up with plans for what the next priorities are for development. You can see the thread in the archives https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-July/msg00103.html For virt-manager we've got a list of items we'd like to see developed on the project website: http://virt-manager.org/roadmap.html So in summary, if you've got ideas & suggestion and want to get involved don't hesistate to mail either project's list :-) Regards, Dan.
