Lustre Community Development in Progress

Lustre 2.6.0 Development Scope
For the Lustre 2.6 development cycle, we are tracking all outstanding work for the release right in Jira. We do so by adding the "Lustre 2.6.0" version string to the "Fix Version/s" field of any ticket that we have scoped to be part of that release. Jira uses the "Fix Version/s" field in a number of ways, including its built-in Road Map, Change Log, and of course Issues pages.

Thanks to use of this field, the Lustre project page in Jira will better reflect the state of development for the next Lustre release. Here are some quick links:


 * Lustre Project Page
 * Lustre 2.6.0 Summary Page
 * Lustre 2.6.0 Unresolved Issues

The selection of the initial list of tickets that were scoped for 2.6.0 was made through a the scoping efforts of the OpenSFS Community Development Working Group.

Keep in mind that the list of work is not static. As bugs are discovered, the list will grow. When new Jira tickets are opened for Lustre bug on the master branch, Intel, as part of the work for the Community Tree Development Contract, will make the initial determination of whether the ticket should be added to the scope for Lustre 2.6.0.

If a party feels like a ticket should be added to the Lustre 2.6.0 scope, but Intel did not make that initial determination, a request to have "Lustre 2.6.0" added to the "Fix Version/s" field should be made in the Jira ticket itself.

Should Intel and the interested party disagree, the issue should be raised on Community Development Working Group mailing list so that the issue can be discussed by the larger community and final determination made.

= List of features under development = Features that are currently being developed for future Lustre releases in the Lustre community. These will be eligible for inclusion in future Lustre releases as per the defined processes. Features are not listed in priority or landing order. Projects not currently under development, or ideas for features, should be listed on the Project Ideas page.

Please note that the targeted release information is provided by the developing organization for informational purposes only and is in no way a roadmap commitment until it appears on the Lustre Roadmap.
