Hi there
There has been much discussion within the Lustre community about the future of the Lustre 2.x codeline with the following outcome.
Roles
-I have taken on the role of Release Manager for the Lustre 2.1 release and
Oleg Drokin ([email protected]) will be the Technical Lead for this release.
Issue Tracking
-Issues relating to this release will be tracked in Whamcloud's JIRA system
-http://jira.whamcloud.com . Signup is open and free.
-To see the present list of blockers, please use the filter "Lustre 2.1
Blockers". This can be conveniently accessed by selecting Manage Filters and then
Popular.
Source Control
-The code for the release will be made from Whamcloud's git instance
-http://git.whamcloud.com/
-Patches contributed by engineers from third party organizations will be
according to arrangement similar to the kernel
(seehttp://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Submitting+Changes
for details). The outcome will be that no single organization will own the
copyright to this release
Testing
-The latest build can be downloaded from thehttp://build.whamcloud.com/
-Testing results from both Whamcloud and third party organizations will be stored in Maloo, the Whamcloud test database -http://maloo.whamcloud.com <http://maloo.whamcloud.com/>. Seehttp://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Using+Maloo for details on how to use Maloo either to view progress or to upload your own testing results.
Weekly Call
-A weekly status call will take place Tuesday at 1:30pm PT. This call is open
to any interested parties. 866-914-3976 534986#
This was considered the most expedient plan for the Lustre 2.1 release, but a different approach may be taken for ongoing Lustre 2.x releases. This is still under consideration within the Lustre community.
The Lustre community organizations - EOFS, HPCFS, and OpenSFS - have all expressed support for these plans and we look forward to collaborating with the community for this release.
A Lustre 2.1 Google group has been setup as a forum to discuss this release -http://groups.google.com/group/lustre-21. Please feel free to signup for this mailing list whether you are interested in collaborating in this release or just observing the progress.
Regards
