Lustre User Group 2003

The first annual Lustre User Group meeting was held July 29-30, 2003 in Richland, Washington.

The Lustre User Group was founded by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to promote the use of the open source Lustre file system for HPTC and scalable IO. The laboratories are working to develop a community knowledge base of best practices that make Lustre implementations successful. They also will provide direct feedback to the development community on current issues and future needs. There will presentations from users, from Cluster File Systems and other vendors working on solutions based on Lustre and products designed to work with Lustre.

The registration deadline is June 9th.

Registration information can be found at http://www.pnl.gov/lustre/ , and via email [email protected].
