New Open Source Project Takes Aim at XenServer

Although XenServer has found a substantial user base, it’s never really seen much of a developer community form around it. Most development still comes from Citrix, which retains skin in the game from its commercial support program and from its paid version of the platform containing features not available in the free version. The failure to attract a healthy developer community isn’t surprising, because open source developers often have an aversion to projects using such an “open core” business model.
