Spice
The Spice project aims to provide a complete
open source solution for interaction with virtualized
desktop devices.

SPICE was developed by Qumranet and as
many software developed in Israel, was not initially
a open source product.

The company was also the creator, maintainer
and global sponsor of the KVM open source
hypervisor.
