Governance
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The Ceph open source community is guided by a few different groups.
|
|
|
|
Project Leader
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The Ceph project is currently led by Sage Weil <sage@redhat.com>. The
|
|
project leader is responsible for guiding the overall direction of the
|
|
project and ensuring that the developer and user communities are
|
|
healthy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Committers
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Committers are project contributors who have write access to the central
|
|
Ceph code repositories, currently hosted on GitHub. This group of developers
|
|
is collectively empowered to make changes to the Ceph source code.
|
|
|
|
Generally speaking, no individual should make a change in isolation:
|
|
all code contributions go through a collaborative review process (and
|
|
undergo testing) before being merged. The specifics of this process
|
|
are dynamic and evolving over time.
|
|
|
|
New committers are added to the project (or committers removed from
|
|
the project) at the discretion of the Ceph Leadership Team (below).
|
|
The criteria for becoming a contributor include a consistent level of
|
|
quality and engagement in the project over time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ceph Leadership Team
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The Ceph Leadership Team (CLT) is a collection of component leads and
|
|
other core developers who collectively make technical decisions for
|
|
the project. These decisions are generally made by consensus,
|
|
although voting may be used if necessary.
|
|
|
|
The CLT meets weekly via video chat to discuss any pending issues or
|
|
decisions. Minutes for the CLT meetings are published at
|
|
`https://pad.ceph.com/p/clt-weekly-minutes <https://pad.ceph.com/p/clt-weekly-minutes>`_.
|
|
|
|
Committers are added to or removed from the CLT at the discretion of
|
|
the CLT itself.
|
|
|
|
Current CLT members are:
|
|
|
|
* Ahbishek Lekshmanan <abhishek@suse.com>
|
|
* Alfredo Deza <adeza@redhat.com>
|
|
* Gregory Farnum <gfarnum@redhat.com>
|
|
* Jason Dillaman <dillaman@redhat.com>
|
|
* Josh Durgin <jdurgin@redhat.com>
|
|
* Joao Eduardo Luis <joao@suse.de>
|
|
* John Spray <john.spray@redhat.com>
|
|
* Matt Benjamin <mbenjami@redhat.com>
|
|
* Myoungwon Oh <omwmw@sk.com>
|
|
* Ken Dreyer <kdreyer@redhat.com>
|
|
* Haomai Wang <haomai@xsky.com>
|
|
* Lenz Grimmer <lgrimmer@suse.com>
|
|
* Sage Weil <sage@redhat.com>
|
|
* Xie Xingguo <xie.xingguo@zte.com.cn>
|
|
* Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@redhat.com>
|
|
* Zack Cerza <zcerza@redhat.com>
|
|
|
|
Component Leads
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Each major subcomponent of the Ceph project has a lead engineer who is
|
|
responsible for guiding and coordinating development. The leads are
|
|
nominated or appointed at the discretion of the project leader or the
|
|
CLT. Leads responsibilities include:
|
|
|
|
* guiding the (usually) daily "stand-up" coordination calls over video chat
|
|
* building the development roadmap for each release cycle
|
|
* coordinating development activity between contributors
|
|
* ensuring that contributions are reviewed
|
|
* ensuring that different proposed changes do not conflict
|
|
* ensuring that testing remains robust (new features include tests, changes do not break tests, etc.)
|
|
|
|
All component leads are included on the CLT. They are expected to
|
|
report progress and status updates to the rest of the leadership team
|
|
and to help facilitate any cross-component coordination of
|
|
development.
|
|
|
|
|
|
User Committee
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The user committee is intended to represent the needs and interests of
|
|
the Ceph user community. It is currently led by Wido den Hollander
|
|
<wido@42on.com>. The function of this body is not currently
|
|
well-defined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ceph Advisory Board
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The Ceph Advisory Board is a collection of industry representatives
|
|
that advise the project on strategy, direction, and resource
|
|
allocation, and coordinate industry activities to support the Ceph
|
|
project and community.
|
|
|
|
Currently the advisory board includes representatives from Ceph vendors
|
|
(Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical), academia (CERN), industry partners
|
|
(Fujitsu, Intel, WD), and a user committee representative.
