+libosinfo
+=========
 
-Requirements:

+libosinfo is a GObject based library API for managing information about
+operating systems, hypervisors and the (virtual) hardware devices they can
+support. It includes a database containing device metadata and provides APIs
+to match/identify optimal devices for deploying an operating system on a
+hypervisor. Via the magic of GObject Introspection, the API is available in all
+common programming languages with demos for javascript (GJS/Seed) and python
+(PyGObject). Also provided are Vala bindings.
+
+libosinfo is Free Software and licenced under LGPLv2+.
