[Gluster-devel] Recent dict changes affecting QEMU-GlusterFS patches

[John Mark Walker]

Greetings,

I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for doing this. This is exactly the type of integration activity we want to encourage. If you need anything from us, please feel free to send me a note. I'll make sure someone on our team gets back to you, although it seems that there's already a dialogue.

In any case, welcome to Gluster-land. If you have other ideas about features we should implement or that you are interested in implementing yourself, please do send a message to this list or to me personally. We would love to hear from you.

Thanks,
John Mark Walker
Gluster Community Guy
