This is a close-to weekly update from the KubeVirt team.

In general there is now more work happening outside of the core kubevirt
repository.

We are currently driven by

- Building a solid user-story around KubeVirt

- Caring about end-to-end (backend, core, ui)

- Getting dependencies into shape (storage)

- Improve the user-experience for users (UI, deployment)

- Being easier to be used on Kubernetes and OpenShift

Within the last two weeks we achieved to:

- Release KubeVirt v0.4.0
  (<https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/releases/tag/v0.4.0>)

- Many networking fixes (@mlsorensen @vladikr)
