I think both technologies are very complementary. OpenStack currently currently has no good management interface and I look at oVirt as mostly a cloud management interface. I can see a future in which oVirt is used to manage a bunch of openstack nodes. Quantum integration is already happening and User management is already external to oVirt so keystone can probably plugged in there at some point. Then either vdsm needs to learn to talk to nova or oVirt needs to learn to talk to nova as an alternative to vdsm.
