Xen users - May 2008 - OVF (Open Virtual Machine Format) and XEN

Hi all,

I already gathered some basic knowledge about XEN and VMware. Now I want to 
learn something about the new standard called OVF. 
Are there any ressources available like 
- how to get started with OVF and XEN
- tools for creation XEN based VMs out of the OVF (VMware offers a ovf-tool)

Thanks for you help
Stefan

Here''s a link. 

http://www.xensource.com/Documents/OVF-whitepaper-0.9-open_authors_lettersize.pdf

Also, check www.bundlebits.com (the Virtualization link) over the next few days
as more and more links to relevant howto''s and other information
becomes available.

If anyone has any howto links, host related and guest related products,
applications, etc, which you would like to let others know about, by all means,
go ahead and list them there.
There is no cost. It''s new but it''s there for anyone to put to
use.
