[lustre-discuss] Lustre Trademark Transferred to OpenSFS and EOFS

[OpenSFS Administration]

Today Open Scalable File Systems (OpenSFS) and European Open File Systems
(EOFS) are pleased to announce another important step in ensuring that
Lustre remains open and free for everyone to use. Seagate has donated the
rights to the Lustre trademark to OpenSFS and EOFS, who will maintain it
under joint ownership.

 

"The Lustre community is grateful to Seagate for donating the Lustre
trademark. Their earlier generous contribution of lustre.org to the
community was a huge boon for users and administrators alike, allowing
OpenSFS and EOFS to refresh its content and keep it current. This latest
gift completes their generous asset transfer and puts the trademark into
hands that will put it to good use." said Stephen Simms, President of
OpenSFS.

"We are very pleased to have reached such an agreement with Seagate and are
excited that from now on the Lustre community represented by EOFS and
OpenSFS equally owns all the assets related to lustre.org as well as the
word LUSTRE and its design marks" said Hugo Falter, Executive Director of
EOFS and Frank Baetke, President and Chairman of the EOFS Administrative
Council.
