[Twg] Sample text for requirements

[David Dillow]

Here's some sample text for asking for requirements and development
plans:


The Technical Working Group of OpenSFS is working on the development
roadmap for the organization. We are reaching out to the Lustre
community for suggestions and pain points, as while there is a great
deal of experience in the TWG, we are a small subset of the whole
community and have no monopoly on good ideas.

We would also like to know more of the communities plans for development
to try to avoid overlap and duplicated effort. You can find some of the
ideas discussed for the roadmap on the TWG list archives at
<http://lists.opensfs.org/pipermail/twg-opensfs.org/>
-- in particular I would call your attention to
<http://www.opensfs.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Lustre-development-roadmap1.pdf>

Our current plan is to start discussing the requirements during our Jan
13th conference call, with more discussion and prioritization for the
Jan 20th call. We hope to present some work-product from those calls to
the OpenSFS executives during our Jan 25/26 face-to-face meeting.

This will not be the last time we do this exercise -- new requirements
will certainly arrive over time -- so there will be continuing
opportunities to make your voice heard.
