Today Open Scalable File Systems (OpenSFS) and European Open File Systems (EOFS) are pleased to announce another important step in ensuring that Lustre remains open and free for everyone to use. Seagate has donated the rights to the Lustre trademark to OpenSFS and EOFS, who will maintain it under joint ownership.
"The Lustre community is grateful to Seagate for donating the Lustre trademark. Their earlier generous contribution of lustre.org to the community was a huge boon for users and administrators alike, allowing OpenSFS and EOFS to refresh its content and keep it current. This latest gift completes their generous asset transfer and puts the trademark into hands that will put it to good use." said Stephen Simms, President of OpenSFS. "We are very pleased to have reached such an agreement with Seagate and are excited that from now on the Lustre community represented by EOFS and OpenSFS equally owns all the assets related to lustre.org as well as the word LUSTRE and its design marks" said Hugo Falter, Executive Director of EOFS and Frank Baetke, President and Chairman of the EOFS Administrative Council. ### About Lustre: The Lustre file system is an open source parallel file system widely deployed at major computational centers worldwide, including many of the Top500.
