Fedora virt status March 2014

[Cole Robinson]

Hey all, here are some virt and fedora status bits for March.

Fedora 21
  =========

The Fedora 21 schedule was finalized last month.

- 2014-04-08  Change Proposal Submission Deadline
- 2014-07-08  Changes Freeze--Planning & Development Ends
- 2014-07-22  Alpha Change Deadline
- 2014-08-05  Alpha Release
- 2014-08-26  Beta Change Deadline
- 2014-09-09  Beta Release
- 2014-09-30  Final Change Deadline
- 2014-10-14  Fedora 21 Final Release

There's quite a large window between the change submission deadline (next
week) and the alpha freeze, 3 months total. I've proposed one change:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Virt_64bit_ARM_on_x86

That's basically about qemu-system-aarch64 being usable. This is under
heavy development in upstream qemu, but there's a good chance that
something will be useful in time for Fedora 21, and that page is about
tracking the progress, getting it documented, wired up in libvirt, etc.
