Hello Gluster users/developers,

Previously, we from Kadalu Technologies proposed to support the Gluster project for \
three years. Based on the feedback from many maintainers and users, we will not be \
taking up three years of maintenance. We will maintain it for one year mainly \
focusing on the following tasks and see if it benefits the community in any way. The \
definite list of tasks will help us to stay focused.

1. Documentation website and content improvement.

2. Release management - Continue the existing release cycle and manage the releases. \
Support the packages for CentOS, Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian.

3. Website management - Migration to Github pages with a simple theme. Review blog \
posts from the community to publish in gluster.org. Maintain Gluster.org domain \
renewal and other activities.

4. Monthly community meetings - Promote community participation, publish the minutes \
to gluster.org. Notify developers/maintainers, if any urgent issues reported by users \
in these meetings.

5. Incoming Issues Triage - Response to the issues in 2 working days. Forward the \
issue to the respective developer/maintainer if available. Discuss the issues in the \
meeting if not addressed for two weeks.

6. Backport the PRs to minor releases that are merged in the devel branch and \
required in the released versions.

7. Maintain other tools repo: gdash, gstatus and others (Actively maintained repos)

Infrastructure (CI jobs, mailing lists) is maintained by Red Hat. Hopefully RH will \
continue to do this at least for a year.

Hoping to achieve the funding target before this year, so that we can start the \
maintenance activities from 2024.

Contributions from individuals and companies are welcome. We will create a Sponsors \
page at gluster.org and add the logo, name and link of the Companies and name, link \
and a photo of the individual (With permission).

Please reply to this email or write to us at mailto:gluster@kadalu.tech if you are \
interested in sponsoring the Gluster project maintenance. We will get back with the \
next steps. Thanks.

Thanks and Regards

Aravinda VK

On behalf of the Kadalu Team
