Hi,

of course Gluster would like to be part of the File and Storage Systems
track in October.

After thinking about this a little, a suitable topic would be the
integration of FS-Cache with FUSE. It is a project I've been long
planning to look into, but never found the time for. Recently, Vimal (on
CC) mentioned that he is interested in working on this for a university
project. For this, I'm planning to work with Vimal and guide him where I
can. I plan to submit this project for the conference later this week.

If you have an other topic that we can propose, let me know or submit
one yourself. I'm open to work with others on ideas that we (the Gluster
community) can present and discuss at this miniconference. But remember
that the deadline it this Friday!

Thanks,
Niels
