Today we announce OpenZFS: the truly open source successor to the ZFS
project.
ZFS is the world's most advanced filesystem, in active development for over
a decade. Recent development has continued in the open, and OpenZFS is the
new formal name for this open community of developers, users, and companies
improving, using, and building on ZFS. Founded by members of the Linux,
FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and illumos communities, the OpenZFS community brings
together over a hundred software developers from these platforms.
You can read more about OpenZFS at our website:
http://open-zfs.org (don't forget the dash!)
The OpenZFS community's goals are:
1. To raise awareness of the quality, utility, and availability of OpenZFS
by consolidating documentation for developers and sysadmins alike, and by
engaging with the larger tech community through conferences, meetups, and
online interactions.
2. To encourage open communication about ongoing efforts to improve open
source OpenZFS, by creating a collaborative website and a mailing list to
discuss OpenZFS code changes.
3. To ensure consistent reliability, functionality, and performance of all
distributions of OpenZFS by making it easier to share code between
platforms, by creating cross-platform tests, and by encouraging
cross-platform code reviews.
More than a dozen people have helped define the OpenZFS goals and create
the open-zfs.org website, and there are many ways to participate in OpenZFS:
* Use OpenZFS! OpenZFS is available for several operating system
distributions, including FreeBSD, OmniOS (illumos), Debian, Gentoo, PC-BSD,
and Mac OS X.
* If you are making a product based on OpenZFS, you are in good company.
More than a dozen companies are talking about how OpenZFS helps make their
products great. Contact ***@open-zfs.org to get your logo on the
open-zfs.org companies list and our T-shirts.
* Write code for OpenZFS and contribute it to your platform's repo. Join
the ***@open-zfs.org mailing list to stay informed about OpenZFS
projects, and get design help or feedback on your code changes.
* Contribute to the growing body of documentation on the
open-zfs.orgwebsite. Share your experiences with OpenZFS by blogging,
tweeting
(#OpenZFS), and speaking at conferences and user groups.
OpenZFS is the most advanced filesystem in the world. Join the community
and be a part of making it even better.
