<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">The OpenSFS board is asking the CDWG to start discussions with Xyratex regarding the Lustre IP they purchased from Oracle. It would be ideal to try to make some headway before LUG to announce.
I’m scheduling a call for next week instead of waiting until our regularly scheduled call on 3/13.</span></font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Suggested topics from the board include:</span></font></div>
<ul style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li> Progression to move lustre.org to OpenSFS indefinitely</li><li> Update and refresh the site – keep it vendor neutral</li><li> Mailing list consolidation</li><li> Merge or not to merge the two 1.8.x versions, or publish the Oracle version 1.8.x</li></span></font>
