Features
The following features are under active development and could be possible for landing during the 2.10 release cycle

General Work and Maintenance
From the Lustre project page in the Lustre issue tracker, we can see a dashboard for the project. On that page under the "Versions: Unreleased" section, there are links to future releases and all of the issues that are either targeted to be addressed in that release, or are already addressed for the release. Here is a shortcut to Lustre 2.10.0's issue summary page:

Lustre 2.10.0 Issues

Any issue that contains "Lustre 2.10.0" in the "Fix Version/s" field of a ticket is intended to be fixed for version 2.10.0. The Lustre 2.10.0 Issues list is fluid, and will be updated on a continual basis as man power and perceived priorities change.

If you would like to own one or more tasks for the release but are not currently listed in the drop-down list of developers in JIRA then please email [mailto:peter.a.jones@intel.com Peter Jones] to get that setup

A convenience search filter is supplied for anyone looking for work that needs to be done for 2.10.0:
