Hello! You may have noticed, on our web site or in the press, that we have eliminated the one-year delay in our release cycle. Until now, we have made releases to the open source community up to 12 months after releases to customers. Our licensing practices aren''t changing -- Lustre for Linux will continue to be distributed under the GNU GPL -- but we''re no longer making the community wait. To download our latest release (Lustre 1.4.5) and future releases when available, please visit http://www.clusterfs.com/ We''re also in the process of narrowing down possible dates and locations for the next Lustre Users Group meeting. Look for an announcement around the first of the year, for a meeting in Q1 or early Q2. Thank you for your support! Please don''t hesitate to contact me if you have comments, questions, or suggestions. -Phil
