Hey Ceph friends, It's Cephalopod Awareness Week, and we're taking a cue from the octopus. The Ceph Foundation needs to hear from every arm of the community. The 2026 Ceph Community Survey is now open and covers: - Foundation priorities for the next three years - What would make it easier to contribute to Ceph - Cephalocon and Ceph Days - How you use AI in your Ceph work An octopus’s eight arms sense and act independently but move it in one direction. The Ceph community works similarly: developers, operators, vendors, and users contribute distinct strengths, advancing the project together. Your answers shape how the Foundation allocates its resources, including the events we run and the tools we build. It takes about 10 minutes.
