An independent collective of Lustre developers.

We founded The Lustre Collective to keep Lustre open and independent, and to help steer its development for the decades ahead.

WHY WE EXIST

Lustre should stay open, and keep getting better

Lustre is open source, and the organisations that depend on it need it to stay that way: maintained, moving forward, and independent of any single vendor. The services we sell fund development that goes upstream, so the work we do for one customer benefits everyone who runs Lustre.

OUR TEAM

We’re a global team of developers that work on Lustre at every level, from the kernel and LNET to the management, monitoring and ecosystem around the filesystem. Between us, we have decades of Lustre experience and are deeply involved in the ongoing maintenance of the project: patches, reviews, release testing and the community roadmap.
