Zoom chat:
00:14:41 Itamar Holder (@iholder101): Note: the DRA call is very late for the EMEA timezone. I assume this is a reason why folks from this region cannot join

00:16:30 Felix: ^ true

00:22:10 alayp: @Itamar Holder (@iholder101) happy to change the time for the call, I can start a thread on kubevirt-dev to coordinate a new time? or please suggest some options here

00:23:02 Jed Lejosne: @Siddu Vamsikrishna please un-draft when ready for reviews
