Lustre.org Working Group

The Lustre.org Working Group manages the lustre.org web domain and its associated content. The lustre.org domain is a shared asset of European Open File Systems (EOFS) and Open Scalable File Systems (OpenSFS).

Meeting Frequency
"The Working Group will initially meet at least monthly for the first 6 months and will agree upon the desired frequency of meetings thereafter (but no less often than quarterly)."

Step 1 - DNS

 * Transfer lustre.org domain registration to OpenSFS.org (as agreed in EOFS/OpenSFS management contract)
 * Copy all existing lustre.org DNS entries as starting point.

Step 2 - Main web page
Note: This step can potentially begin immediately, so that we have a lustre.org main web page ready to go when the DNS transfer happens.

Set up a brand new lustre.org main web page. Chris recommends a CMS for the top level pages (perhaps stick with WordPress, similar to lustre.opensfs.org). OpenSFS Lustre Working Group seemed to agree with this plan. The top level CMS pages would largely introduce people to Lustre and direct them to the bulk of the information which would actually mostly like in a lustre.org wiki.

Two main options


 * 1) start with lustre.opensfs.org, but fix branding to give EOFS equal exposure
 * 2) start with blank sheet

Step 3 - mailing lists
Move mailing lists to EOFS/OpenSFS hosting. We need to investigate mailing list hosting options. It would be nice to preserve the archives and current list members. That would mean continuing to use mailman. DreamHost offers mailman hosting, and if the mailing lists are tar'ed up, the staff at DreamHost can set them up for us. Not sure how long this would take. Might mean some down time of the lists (probably acceptable), or some lost messages that occur after the snapshot is taken. Open question: will DreamHost mailing list speed be adequate?

Step 4 - Wiki
Set up a new lustre.org wiki. Chris recommends continuing with MediaWiki, and moving existing Lustre content from wiki.opensfs.org as a starting point.
