We have until Tuesday, 10/30, close of business to finalize our choice. This short turnaround is due to wanting to use our new design for an SC12 brochure.

> Thanks so much for your time today! We really got some good insight about who you want to be as an organization and how you'd like to make that more clear. I think we all agree that the messaging needs some adjustment to shift its focus away from Lustre as the solo act and towards an open HPC community. With that in mind, we think "KEEPING HPC OPEN" is another strong headline, but wanted to toss it out to you all now, as this may be a statement that has objections from the group.

We'll focus on providing a site that can deliver fresh and active content on its homepage for lustre.opensfs.org.

> Our takeaway from today's call is that the visual languages we presented are on track but the messaging is a bit too Lustre focused and OpenSFS does not want all its eggs in one basket. With that special note in mind, I've attached the presentation for distribution to any stakeholders that may be interested.
