Hey Danny (and Wido),
WRT the foundation I'm sure you can see why it has been on hold for
the last few weeks. However, this is not signifying the death of the
effort. Both Sage and I still feel that this is a discussion worth
having. However, the discussion hasn't happened yet, so it's far too
early to be able to say anything beyond that.
Ok, thanks for the information. Just something that comes up in my mind:
- Repository location and access
- Documentation efforts for non-RHEL platforms
- Support for non-RHEL platforms
I'm confident that RedHat will make Ceph bigger and better, but I'm just
a bit worried about how that will happen and what will happen to the
existing community.
Once we get all of the acquisition stuff settled we'll start having
those conversations again. There are obvious pros and cons to both
sides, so the outcome is far from obvious. I will definitely let you
all know as soon as there is information to be had.
Understood. Keep us posted!
Wido
Sorry I couldn't be more informative, but we're still looking at it!
Best Regards,
Patrick McGarry

Today we are announcing some very big news: Red Hat is acquiring Inktank.
We are very excited about what this means for Ceph, the community, the
team, our partners, and our customers. Ceph has come a long way in the ten
years since the first line of code has been written, particularly over the
last two years that Inktank has been focused on its development. The fifty
members of the Inktank team, our partners, and the hundreds of other
contributors have done amazing work in bringing us to where we are today.
We believe that, as part of Red Hat, the Inktank team will be able to
build a better quality Ceph storage platform that will benefit the entire
ecosystem. Red Hat brings a broad base of expertise in building and
delivering hardened software stacks as well as a wealth of resources that
will help Ceph become the transformative and ubiquitous storage platform
that we always believed it could be.
What does that mean to the idea/plans to move Ceph to a Foundation? Are
they canceled?
Danny
