This is a weekly update from the KubeVirt team - including the holiday backlog update.

We are currently driven by

• Being easier to be used on Kubernetes and OpenShift

• Rework out architecture

• Getting dependencies into shape (storage)

• Improve the user-experience for users (UI, deployment)
