How Do We Define our Roadmap?

The requirements of our users and customers are the driving force behind all our development efforts. Cloud and Edge Computing are highly competitive environments that present challenges for the continued success of OpenNebula. Our goal is to build the best possible open source Cloud Management Platform and to deliver it as a product that actually responds to our users' technical requirements. This means we have to be agile and flexible in order to quickly adapt to both our users’ needs and to emerging challenges in the market. Hence, our roadmap needs to be flexible enough for us to be able to deal with, and take advantage of, rapid changes in cloud technologies, edge computing and data center virtualization. This is the reason why, as an innovation-driven open source project, we are only able to publish our short-term roadmap, which is the description of the features planned for the next release of OpenNebula.

How Do We Prioritize Features in our Short-term Roadmap?

When we create the short-term roadmap and plan the features for the next release, we prioritize:

• The features demanded by those projects and institutions sponsoring OpenNebula
• The features demanded by customers with an active OpenNebula Subscription
• The most demanded features by our users and partners

How Do We Receive Feedback from the Community?

You are always more than welcome to use our GitHub to file bug reports or submit feature request. The issue you create will be used to track the discussions about the bug or proposed feature. We'll try to contact you as soon as possible to get more information and to give you some initial feedback about your request. Your Issue Request will be pending until it is decided either that it is not in the scope of the project and subsequently closed, or it is interesting for the OpenNebula project and will be added as a Backlog item or a Feature. Please remember that we do our best but this process can take some time, and it is usually not done until the next release cycle (at the earliest). Many thanks in advance for your patience!
