From the notes we got, you?d like to see us do better release testing, you want to continue to see a focus on performance for small files, gluster swift, monitoring. You like how we?re putting our release plans publicly on Github, and we?re planning on continuing that! You?d like to see the ways that a feature gets proposed be streamlined, and we?ll look to that in future releases. We?ll be doing retrospectives for every major release, watch for the next one for 3.12. --- Noteworthy threads from the mailing lists: Vijay Bellur asks - Who's using OpenStack Cinder & Gluster? http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2017-June/031370.html Nithya B asks for Gluster Documentation Feedback http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2017-June/031498.html Raghavendra Talur introduces minister http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2017-June/031589.html Shyam announces Release 3.12: Scope and calendar! http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/052953.html Krutika Dhananjay outlines performance experiments with io-stats translator http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/052993.html Amar requests [Need Feedback] Monitoring http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/053048.html Nigel proposes Regression Voting Changes http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/053080.html Amar explains a new 'experimental' branch created for validating your ideas http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/053092.html Raghavendra Talur starts a conversation on brick multiplexing and memory consumption http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/053101.html Pranith Kumar Karampuri suggests changes to backport information while porting patches http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/053140.html Kotresh Hiremath Ravishankar comments on adding xxhash to gluster code base http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/053173.html Amar posts updates on Maintainers 2.0 http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/053192.html Jeff Darcy notes a need for a new coding standard http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-June/053204.html Gluster Top 5 Contributors in the last 30 days: Kaleb Keithley, Michael Scherer, Nigel Babu, Prashanth Pai, Nithya Balachandran Upcoming CFPs: Open Source Summit Europe ? http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-summit-europe/program/cfp July 8 Gluster Summit 2017 -https://goo.gl/forms/IUacgG5JjpuMTWe52 - July 31 -- Amye Scavarda | amye at redhat.com | Gluster Community Lead
