[Lustre-discuss] LUG is just around the corner, are you ready?

[Shay Seager]

Hello All,
LUG 2012 is less than a month away; April 23rd-April 25th.  We recommend you fly in Sunday April 22nd in the morning because we have some great events for you on Sunday:

April 22, 2012

2:00-5:00pm the Benchmarking Work Group will be holding our first face to face meeting.  The “Benchmarking Work Group” will focus on identifying and defining I/O workloads for the various Lustre markets, and then define IO generation benchmarking tools that best emulates those workloads.  You are invited to help contribute to this important initiative.

Pre LUG 2012 Party

Sponsored by DataDirect Networks and Whamcloud

The annual Lustre User Group is being held in Austin, TX, this year, with all the great Lustre developers, users and vendors in attendance. If you’re coming, you know some of the best connections are made outside of the talks. DDN and Whamcloud are providing beers & wine to help get it started. Come to Zax Restaurant & Bar, right next to the Hyatt Regency where LUG will be held, to kick off the week in a relaxed atmosphere. No hype, no pressure, just lots of local beers, wine and Lustre superstars. We’re closing the restaurant down, it’s just us from 7pm – 10pm. Hope to see you there!

Location: Zax Restaurant & Bar 312 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78704 (across from the Hyatt Regency)
