Hey all,

Since things have been on the back burner a bit since the Inktank acquisition I wanted to refresh what's going on in the world of the Storage SIG.

KB, Lala, and I met yesterday to discuss current status and as it turns out things are actually still moving along. Ultimately we have 3 major goals for the near-term:

1) Collect srpms for Ceph/Gluster to populate CentOS repo (complete) 2) Ensure Ceph/Gluster are installable from a single repo 3) Ensure Storage distro work w/ virt

Ideally we would like to expand the storage considerations beyond Ceph/Gluster, so if anyone has storage tech that they would like to heap on to the pile we definitely want to make sure we're enabling as many things as possible. Perhaps the xtreemFS or mooseFS guys would care to participate? At the very least it would be good to get a non-red-hat member into the storage mix now.

If anyone has questions or concerns please let me know. Once we have a workable setup I'll push that out again for some actual consumption. Thanks.

Best Regards,
