Hey Ceph friends, The Ceph Developer Summit begins next week! From August 4–13, the Ceph community comes together online to shape the next major release, Vampire, coming in Spring 2027. Nine sessions across two weeks will cover RADOS, RBD, RGW, CephFS, Dashboard, Cephadm, Telemetry/Ceph-MGR, NVMe-oF gateway, and Crimson/SeaStore — led by the engineers building each of these components. Whether you're a core contributor, an operator running Ceph in production, or just curious about what's next for the project, every session is open to join. Bring your questions, your feedback, and your ideas for where these features should go. Each session will be recorded and shared on our YouTube channel.
