Ceph-users threads:

Cephadm Containers

Non-linux platforms? FreeBSD?

Pipeline to produce Windows artifacts.

Developers:

Lab:

CY22 Red Hat budget planning due 7/23

Sebastian: proposed to explore developing and building inside a container.

David: All flash systems available (https://wiki.sepia.ceph.com/doku.php?id=hardware:folio)

Ilya: can't assign new contributors to specific trackers.

Patrick: there are 2 developer groups: the Ceph one (everyone) and the Core one (mostly Red Hat, SUSE, etc., which had access to private/embargoed trackers).

Events:

Josh: Kubecon? No clear travel guidelines issued yet.

Kind Regards,

Ernesto
