[Twg] TWG development requirements voting

[John Carrier]

We still need your help identifying the top requirements, which the TWG will propose that OpenSFS fund for 2013.  Our goal is to issue an RFP and complete contract negotiations by SC12.  All organizations in the Lustre community are welcome to submit a list.


I've received priority lists from the following organizations: Fermi, IU, CEA, Bull, Whamcloud, Terascala, and LLNL.
Please let me know ASAP if you submitted a list and are not mentioned above.

Dave and I had hoped that we would wrap up voting before this week's TWG call.   But at this point, I don't have lists from 4 of the 5 OpenSFS promoters (Cray, DDN, ORNL, Xyratex).   Therefore, I propose that we wrap up the voting this week so that I can publish the tally next week for discussion at our 5/24 meeting.  Here's the "new" schedule:


Fri 5/18 - final deadline to submit top 10 requirments in priority order

Mon 5/21 - TWG to publish summary of votes

Thur 5/24 - TWG meeting to resolve summary and make recommendation to board



Voting is really just a matter of submitting to discuss at lists.opensfs.org<mailto:discuss at lists.opensfs.org> a prioritized list of top10 features from our gathered requirements http://goo.gl/cZSWG.    Although we will include all lists in our analysis, voting priority will be given to OpenSFS members to resolve ties.  The OpenSFS board has ultimate authority for recommending which features should be funded for development.



Please let us know if you have any questions.



John & Dave
