Hello, Ceph friends! Throughout 2025, Ceph technical leaders surveyed our community about their usage of Ceph on Windows. We received 55 responses to our inquiry. When asked whether their organization currently uses Ceph on Windows, 93% responded no, and 7% responded yes. When asked if their organization plans to use Ceph on Windows or CephFS in the future, 60% responded no, and 40% responded yes. Given the continued need for this project within our community, the Ceph Steering Committee (CSC) would like to ask for help in maintaining Ceph for Windows. If you're interested in contributing, please introduce yourself on the Ceph Development email list <https://lists.ceph.io/postorius/lists/dev.ceph.io/> and volunteer to help. This request is not a one-time effort. We aim to establish a dedicated committee for this project. Please let me or any CSC member know if you are interested in participating and what resources you might need to support your involvement. Best, -- Anthony Middleton Community Manager, Ceph Foundation community-manager@ceph.io LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/ceph>| BlueSky <https://bsky.app/profile/ceph.io> | Twitter <https://x.com/Ceph>
