[Cialug] VM Server

[Theron Conrey]

dave,

I know this has gotten a lot of attention, but I stick by my comments
around KVM and virt manager.  being able to securely connect to the the
host as well as tunnel the console out via ssh is awesome.  further
integration points with things like open daylight, as well as storage
options with things like native gluster integration are awesome.
