Xyratex staffing update

Lustre 2.6 Update
Things going well with revised feature freeze at the end of this week. Remaining major planned patches likely to land before feature freeze:


 * 5 patches for LFSK2
 * 3 for DNE2 (without async work)
 * 2 patches for IU work

Fix for RHEL 6.5 mount bug has been landed for RedHat 7. Probably likely to make its way back to land for RHEL6.6.

Roadmap Update
ORNL - end to end checksumming

How do we reset the timeline (we dumped 2.6 schedule by one month).

1.8 client
Meghan asked about community support for Lustre 1.8 clients. Chris clarified that 1.8 has been decided in the past to be too old to be in the purvue of OpenSFS. It was decided that individual companies can support it as they see fit, but OpenSFS would concentrate on more recent versions of Lustre.

Of course, organizations may always discuss their plans and coordinate if they choose to.

Survey Status
Survey was announced, and there was initial good set of responders. Chris will send reminders about the survey a couple of more times, and advertise a hard deadline of mid-March.

Action Items
will me included in new roadmap slide.
 * Send email to CDWG with more details about roadmap update. Mention 2.8
