[Chemnitzer Linux Tage 2026] Open Source VDI: SPICE / QEMU with Video stream support

The poster was presented at the Chemnitzer Linux Tage 2026.

Additionally, the state of developments in Open Source VDI (OSVDI) was further presented in a talk by Rafael Gieschke, Michael Scherle and Dirk von Suchodoletz. The solution developed in WP2 of NFDI4BIOIMAGE provides a complete remote desktop representation via virtualization or cloud environments, accessible over a network connection. The goal is to implement a typical imaging workstation available remotely using a fully open and freely available software stack. OSVDI aims to complete a free and open IT toolkit in the spirit of digital sovereignty. The talk therefore particularly addresses co-developers as well as IT decision-makers and infrastructure administrators, with the goal of promoting the project beyond NFDI4BIOIMAGE and ensuring its long-term sustainability.
