Hello Gluster Ant People!
Right now, if you go to gluster.org, you see our current slogan in giant
text:
Write once, read everywhere
However, no one seems to be super-excited about that slogan. It doesn't
really help differentiate gluster from a portable hard drive or a
paperback book. I am going to work with Red Hat's branding geniuses to
come up with some possibilities, but sometimes, the best ideas come from
the people directly involved with a project.
What I am saying is that if you have a slogan idea for Gluster, I want
to hear it. You can reply on list or send it to me directly. I will
collect all the proposals (yours and the ones that Red Hat comes up
with) and circle back around for community discussion in about a month
or so.
Thanks!

GlusterFS: your data, your way GlusterFS: any data, any servers, any protocol GlusterFS: scale-out storage for everyone GlusterFS: software defined storage for everyone GlusterFS: the Swiss Army Knife of storage

We are certainly not file storage only, we have object, api & block interfaces too and the FS in GlusterFS seems to imply a file storage connotation alone. -Vijay

You can view it here: https://github.com/itisravi/image/blob/master/gluster.jpg So what the image is trying to convey (hopefully) is "Gluster: Software Defined Storage. Redefined" -Ravi N.B.
