AFAIK, there has not been much progress in that respect. I have not
had much time to start adapting the required scripts for OpenVZ -
especially because I'm not that familiar with OpenVZ, yet.

Actually I have done something, though :)
I have installed a box with Proxmox
(http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Main_Page). Proxmox is an interesting
project in various respects. In my opinion it has a few advantages in
terms of adapting OpenNebula for OpenVZ: It comes prepared with a
quite recent kernel (2.6.32) which includes OpenVZ already.
Furthermore the kernel supports kvm, too. Thus, if you don't want to
deal with preparations but want to start with the adaption of
OpenNebula right away, that would be the distribution for you. I would
have to find out more about the various components of OpenVZ first,
though.

One other bit of information came via twitter:

But there were no further tweets or postings on one of the
mailinglists regarding the topic.

If you are considering starting to port the required scripts, I should
be able to serve as a tester, anyway.
