Hi Nathan<br>
<br>
I agree that the proliferation of mailing lists is inefficient and I
personally would love it if Oracle handed lustre.org over to
OpenSFS. It rankles that the first hit anyone gets when they google
"Lustre" is full of stale information ("LUG 2010 coming soon") and
dead links (anyone clicking on anything download related is led on a
wild goose chase) - hardly an fair reflection of a vibrant and
active development community!<br>
<br>
However, at this time, lustre.org is still owned and hosted by
Oracle and it unclear what the long term plans for it are and no
guarantees that it will not suddenly wink out of existence (just as
the ability to download Lustre releases from Oracle did over the
summer). As such, I think that independent mailing lists are a
sensible "safety net". OpenSFS and Whamcloud are distinct
organizations and so naturally need their own mailing lists.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, Oracle is still producing its own Lustre 1.8.x releases
and so we feel that promoting Whamcloud's 1.8.x releases on an
Oracle-hosted mailing list would be inappropriate. If someone wants
to forward these announcements to the lustre.org mailing list that
is fine with us :-) <br>
<br>
I'll be happy to discuss this in more detail with you at SC11 if you
like.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Peter<br>

<div>Should these types of announcements also go out to <a

href="mailto:lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org">lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org</a>
and <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div>I hate the fact that there are now 3 lists where there used
to be one -- the fact of the matter is that all 3 lists are
open, so it's really not about control. Can we possibly just
redirect all messages from two of the lists to the 3rd? My vote
would be for <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lustre.org">lustre.org</a>
since that's the traditional location.</div>
