<p dir="ltr">Hi Malini,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am interested in OVa support for applications. Specifically Ova to Heat as this is whay we usually do in Murano project.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When is free format session for Glance? Should we add this to session etherpad?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks,<br>
Gosha</p>
