<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Talking about the gluster community contribution outside of Red Hat, you can count me in. I'm working as software engineer at iTernity GmbH, the company is committed to provide
an archival solution. iTernity has been using Gluster backed storage solution mainly for archival use case. We have two dedicated developers to work on Gluster, David and Myself. We will be contributing/maintaining to the Gluster community mainly worm xlator,
halo replication, snapshot feature, and probably crypto xlator in the future. Needless to say we will also be very happy to contribute to the other components of Gluster.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Recently Amar wrote about the focus of the GlusterFS core team(<a href="https://www.gluster.org/update-from-the-team/">https://www.gluster.org/update-from-the-team/</a>). He mentioned that the attention of the core team would be stabilizing
the FS layer and enable the ecosystem to adapt to their environment quickly.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">From <a href="http://Kadalu.io">Kadalu.io</a>(<a href="https://kadalu.io">https://kadalu.io</a>), we love GlusterFS and focusing on creating an Opinionated Storage solution based on GlusterFS. GlusterFS is so modular that it enables us
to integrate natively with Kubernetes APIs without the need of Gluster's management layer Glusterd. Other projects we are focussing on now are Moana and Binnacle. Moana(<a href="https://github.com/kadalu/moana">https://github.com/kadalu/moana</a>) is an external
control plane for managing the GlusterFS storage layer. And Binnacle(<a href="https://github.com/kadalu/binnacle">https://github.com/kadalu/binnacle</a>) is a distributed test framework with the focus on Tester's delight.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> I'm wondering what's the current and future plan for Gluster project overall, I see that the project is not as busy as it was before "at least this is what I'm seeing" Like there are fewer blogs about what the roadmap or future plans of
the project, the deprecation of Glusterd2, even Red Hat Openshift storage switched to Ceph.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the community of this project, do you feel the same? Is the deprecation of Glusterd2 concerning? Do you feel that the project is slowing down somehow? Do you think Red Hat is abandoning the project or giving fewer resources to Gluster?<o:p></o:p></p>
