Hello folks, over the past few weeks the Ceph Leadership Team has been processing Sage's departure and figuring out how to run the project going forward. We all appreciate Sage's leadership over the past 17 years, and will dearly miss him. He did give us a bit of a trial run last year, with his leave of absence, and the Pacific cycle went well during this time, becoming one of our most stable major releases. To keep things moving in the short term, we've decided to elect a 3-person Ceph Executive Council from the existing Ceph Leadership Team. This council will be responsible for distributing key responsibilities and making sure the Ceph project runs smoothly for the rest of the Quincy cycle. The election results will be announced next week. After Quincy, we'll reflect and figure out what worked well and what could be improved, and formalize a long-term governance model. We'll continue discussing a longer-term structure in the open now that Sage's news is public. There are a number of details to be worked out, and you can see the current thinking here: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/43567 Feel free to provide feedback and input as we continue this discussion on github.
