Re: [openstack-dev] [Cinder] Requirements for re-adding Gluster support

Thanks to everyone who replied! I'll try to summarize what we'll try to get from the Gluster Community users that run OpenStack. - find an owner/maintainer for the Gluster driver in Cinder little maintenance seems needed, no recent problems reported - get someone to maintain the gate job(s) in
