Hi, It looks like there indeed is enough interest to move forward :-) The next action items would be : * Setup a home page somewhere ( should it be a separate web site or could we simply take over http://ceph.com/ ? ) * Create the "About" page describing the User Committee and get a consensus from interested parties on its goal and scope. * Create an "Event" section to record meetups / conferences schedules ( http://ceph.com/event/ ? ) * Collect use cases ( publish them under http://ceph.com/community/blog/ ? elsewhere ? ) * Schedule a User Committee session for the next CDS Cloudwatt kindly agreed to assign someone ( starting next week ) to help with logistics to organize events. For instance I'll be talking about Ceph in two weeks in Toulouse http://capitoledulibre.org/ : I will happily distribute goodies, if they are there. But if I have to acquire them ... It will be even more useful to organize a Ceph booth during FOSDEM or even ( too short notice maybe ? ) for the Cloudstack event in Amsterdam. I'm willing to take action on setting up the home page, the "about" page and collecting use cases. Anyone willing to work on the other two ( event page, CDS session ) ? Or have ideas for even more action items ? Maybe organizing a local meetup ( the Cloudwatt person could help with that too, as long as she is told where and when ) ? Cheers P.S. If you're in Berlin november 30th 2013, we're having a Ceph oriented friendly poker game at http://c-base.org/ starting 7pm. I'm not sure that counts as an event but it's definitely an opportunity to discuss Ceph ;-) On 07/11/2013 01:35, Loic Dachary wrote: > Hi Ceph, > > I would like to open a discussion about organizing a Ceph User Committee. We briefly discussed the idea with Ross Turk, Patrick McGarry and Sage Weil today during the OpenStack summit. A pad was created and roughly summarizes the idea: > > http://pad.ceph.com/p/user-committee > > If there is enough interest, I'm willing to devote one day a week working for the Ceph User Committee. And yes, that includes sitting at the Ceph booth during the FOSDEM :-) And interviewing Ceph users and describing their use cases, which I enjoy very much. But also contribute to a user centric roadmap, which is what ultimately matters for the company I work for. > > If you'd like to see this happen but don't have time to participate in this discussion, please add your name + email at the end of the pad. > > What do you think ? > > > > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com > -- Loïc Dachary, Artisan Logiciel Libre
