...expanding Abiquo's OVF management capabilities to suit our
needs. Not only do these needs suit Telefónica's interests, but also a
much wider spectrum of users can benefit from them as published almost
a year ago in a well known world-class conference
(http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1621915&dl=GUIDE&coll=GUIDE&CFID=75280084&CFTOKEN=80046203).
Importantly, this work has also been proposed for standardization in
DMTF (http://www.dmtf.org/svm08/presentation/svm08_Femin.ppt).

mmm... I was not aware of this. So you have implemented extensions to the OVF standard. I thought you implemented some missing parts of the standard we do not implement yet (we will in forthcoming releases soon). Are you still OVF 1.0 compliant yet?

Coming from a project funded by a FP7 program and Spanish Avanz@ (public money), modifying a standard to "suit Telefónica's interests" sounds to me... well, it does not sound to me... Still, we are happy to help multibillion euro companies to grow ;-)
