<div>Hello,</div>
<div>I’m also interested in having OVF package support for applications. </div>
<div>As it was described earlier, there are two main tracks to this – OVF artefacts in Glance (corresponding driver), and translating OVF descriptors to Heat templates.</div>
<div>Is there any etherpad from the session? </div>

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