Hi Nathan, Here is a very rough draft of the announcement which is going to be released next monday. It is more a discussion starter than a draft. Feel free to modify at will :-) It includes the names and affiliations of all founding members. There may be more in the days to come and I'll add to it when I receive new applications: http://pad.ceph.com/p/user-committee-announce It basically is a re-iteration of what has been said during the past few weeks. I added two sentences about the scope, in a attempt to say that it is not just about companies but also academics, individuals and non profit ( there are no governmental agencies yet). And that it's not just technical and that the legal environment in which Ceph can prosper is something we should also care about (not just software patents but also the endless amendments to copyright law that may be detrimental to Free Software in general ). Not being a native english speaker it's difficult to get it right ;-) As for the personalized version of the announcement for each founding member, I would love to have one to remember this date.
