The Future of Gluster a roadmap

The Future of Gluster.org, a roadmap

January 26, 2012

RECORDED

It's been a few months since the Gluster acquisition by Red Hat. Things have been moving forward fairly rapidly since then, and you may have questions about what has changed regarding the direction of GlusterFS and associated projects.

Sign up for this webinar and learn about all the exciting things that are happening, and how you can benefit. Gluster.org community guy John Mark Walker will lead the discussion on what's happening in the GlusterFS community, and what you can expect in the future. The best part is that much of the script has yet to be written, and we're looking forward to your participation.


Here is just a sampling of what will be included in the discussion:

  • HekaFS - the multi-tenancy extension for cloud providers
  • Feature list for 3.3 - Simultaneous file and object access, HDFS compatibility, and more
  • Tentative release schedule
  • Project structure - changes are afoot for gluster.org
  • How you can get involved
We're taking GlusterFS to the next level, and you can be a part of that - help set the direction for Gluster.org and GlusterFS.

John Mark is an experienced veteran of all things open source and a self-described agitprop, agitator and advocate for those who volunteer countless, unpaid hours for a particular project or community. He first fell down the slippery slope of open source as a web developer at VA Linux Systems and eventually switched to the community team, beginning a career that has now lasted over ten years. Along the way, John Mark made stops at young, up-and-coming startups, such as Groundwork, Hyperic and then Gluster (later acquired by Red Hat). In between, there was a brief interlude at IDG World Expo, where he was the conference director for LinuxWorld, GridWorld and OSBC.
 
His advice for companies and projects who want to "do community" is to trust your community and give them the time and space to "just try stuff." John Mark loves to perform community karaoke, and is available for weddings, funerals and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs.
