Together with leading institutions and vendors, these Lustre user group (LUG) events are the ideal opportunity for storage managers and IT directors to gather and share their expertise and experiences. Technical Sessions - Call for abstracts is now open LUG events are ideal opportunities to give a technical presentation about how you''re using the Lustre file system.
