Hi there



There has been much discussion within the Lustre community about the future of the Lustre 2.x codeline with the following outcome.



 Roles

 -I have taken on the role of Release Manager for the Lustre 2.1 release and Oleg Drokin (green at whamcloud.com<mailto:green at whamcloud.com>) will be the Technical Lead for this release.



 Issue Tracking

 -Issues relating to this release will be tracked in Whamcloud's JIRA system - http://jira.whamcloud.com . Signup is open and free.

 -To see the present list of blockers, please use the filter "Lustre 2.1 Blockers". This can be conveniently accessed by selecting Manage Filters and then Popular.



 Source Control

 -The code for the release will be made from Whamcloud's git instance - http://git.whamcloud.com/

 -Patches contributed by engineers from third party organizations will be according to arrangement similar to the kernel (see http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Submitting+Changes

for details). The outcome will be that no single organization will own the copyright to this release



 Testing

 -The latest build can be downloaded from the http://build.whamcloud.com/

 -Testing results from both Whamcloud and third party organizations will be stored in Maloo, the Whamcloud test database - http://maloo.whamcloud.com<http://maloo.whamcloud.com/>. See http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Using+Maloo for details on how to use Maloo either to view progress or to upload your own testing results.



 Weekly Call

 -A weekly status call will take place Tuesday at 1:30pm PT. This call is open to any interested parties. 866-914-3976 534986#



This was considered the most expedient plan for the Lustre 2.1 release, but a different approach may be taken for ongoing Lustre 2.x releases. This is still under consideration within the Lustre community.



The Lustre community organizations - EOFS, HPCFS, and OpenSFS - have all expressed support for these plans and we look forward to collaborating with the community for this release.



A Lustre 2.1 Google group has been setup as a forum to discuss this release - http://groups.google.com/group/lustre-21. Please feel free to signup for this mailing list whether you are interested in collaborating in this release or just observing the progress.



 Regards



 Peter
