[Twg] Announcing the new OpenSFS Community Development Working Group

[Hamilton, Pam]

Hi all,

As I mentioned on the OpenSFS Lustre Community call last week, we are in the process of reforming the former Release Planning and Support Working Groups within OpenSFS into one working group, the Community Development Working Group. This will be an open working group with anyone from the greater Lustre community invited to participate.

One purpose of this working group is to start a discussion about a community development model, taking into consideration the needs/concerns of the Lustre vendors. For this to be successful, it's important to have vendor participation.

Other topics suggested include how to better marshal test resources for the 2.1 release and facilitating deep dive technical Lustre talks by experienced developers with interested community developers.

I'm proposing a bi-weekly conference call on Wednesdays at 9am Pacific starting tomorrow, May 25th. I know this is very late notice for this week's call. We'll see who is able to join this week but really kick things off with more advertisement for the call on June 8th.

Tomorrow we can also discuss what to do about a mail list. Maybe we should just use discuss at lists.opensfs.org?

Here is the call-in info: 866-914-3976 (925-424-8105) Passcode: 534986#

Regards,
Pam
