<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve received priority lists from the following organizations: Fermi, IU, CEA, Bull, Whamcloud, Terascala, and LLNL.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know ASAP if you submitted a list and are not mentioned above. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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:<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Fri 5/18 – final deadline to submit top 10 requirments in priority order<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Thur 5/24 – TWG meeting to resolve summary and make recommendation to board<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Voting is really just a matter of submitting to
<a href="mailto:discuss@lists.opensfs.org">discuss@lists.opensfs.org</a> a prioritized list of top10 features from our gathered requirements
<a href="http://goo.gl/cZSWG">http://goo.gl/cZSWG</a>. 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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
