Release 1.7 - status and backporting: https://groups.google.com/g/kubevirt-dev/c/G7zIilL80RM
"Therefore, exceptionally if you are the author of such PR and it isn’t necessarily a destabilizing feature, please open a backport PR, let's have a hard deadline at the end of next week. If you are not sure about what could be backported, please reach out to me here or personally. Finally, if any tracked VEPs (or features) fell short of their completion criteria due to minor oversights, please don't hesitate to reach out."[FOSDEM] Call for participation: Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure Room at FOSDEM 2026: https://groups.google.com/g/kubevirt-dev/c/7LrUMPXc_Zo

Next week: VEP discussion meeting: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/month
new blog post: stretching a Layer 2 network over multiple KubeVirt clusters: https://kubevirt.io/2025/Stretched-layer2-network-between-clusters.html
Introduce sig-architecture and sig-control-plane: https://groups.google.com/g/kubevirt-dev/c/UZeWUpJEKlE
Open Floor:
[fitandre] GPU LIVE MIGRATION with NVK and VENUS (virtio-Vulkan) – Vulkan commands are serialized over virtio-gpu and rendered host-side. This keeps everything open-source and plays nicely with live-migration (paravirtual device)
Missing version 9.2 on Kubevirt “virtio-gpu: support for 3D acceleration of Vulkan applications via Venus Vulkan driver in the guest and virglrenderer host library”
