CDWG's LUG talk
We discussed general outline of the presentation, and topics to cover. Agreed that we need to have a call again next week to go over draft of slides. Chris to have first draft of slides ready by then.

Some of the suggestions:


 * Make sure to talk about 2.5
 * Explain contract clearly, lots of confusion about it in the past
 * Update on the community development efforts
 * Encourage testing, emphasize benefit of this contribution

Roadmap

 * Should move DNE2 to 2.6
 * Need to revise [Development In Progress|https://wiki.hpdd.intel.com/display/PUB/Lustre+Community+Development+in+Progress]
 * Migrate table to
 * Add point-of-contact person for each feature.
 * Check on all "2.5" targeted features, adjust target version as needed

Testing

 * LLNL testing pre-2.4 on Sequoia's filesystem, 2.4 clients (ppc64 and x86_64), servers running 2.4 with ZFS. 2.4 ldiskfs testing hopefully begins within a week
 * Cray - Stability is reasonable, testing focus moving to performance. Many 2.X client performance problems compared to 1.8 client.  Lots of direct-IO testing.  Also testing together with ORNL on Titan.
