Hi, all! It's time to start planning our Ceph Developer Summit again! This summit is where planning for the upcoming Emperor release will happen, and attendance is (as always) open to all. It will be a virtual summit using IRC, Etherpads, and Google Hangouts. Here's our high-level summit calendar: Jul 3: Blueprint submission opens Jul 30: Blueprint submission closes Aug 1: Final summit agenda announced Aug 5-6: Summit! You may have noticed that we're aiming for a two-day summit this time. It was difficult for folks in Asia to participate in the Dumpling summit due to the hour, so I'd like to try two half-day summits: one for the Americas and Asia and one for the Americas and Europe. It might still be difficult for blueprints with stakeholders in all three regions, but I think we should give it a try! Comments and suggestions welcome. Blueprints: Between now and July 30, we're gathering blueprints for Ceph Emperor. A blueprint is a document that describes work someone intends to do, usually reserved for larger features that require discussion. If there's a feature you think Ceph should have, we encourage you to write your thoughts and plans in a blueprint. Then make sure to attend the summit to discuss its implementation with others in the community. Blueprints should be created on the Ceph wiki. You can find a "create blueprint" button on the link below. If you have a blueprint from Dumpling that should be discussed again at this summit, please move the page into the Emperor section. http://wiki.ceph.com/01Planning/CDS/Emperor If you have any questions, drop us a line at community@xxxxxxxx.
