Inside Track: Oracle has Kicked Lustre to the Curb (InsideHPC)

InsideHPC has received
an anonymous tip that Oracle has ceased development of Lustre.
"We can look forward to more Limbo for a while, but what happens next
with stewardship of Lustre? Will Oracle quietly kill it like they did with
OpenSolaris? Will they set the legacy code base free like they did with
Grid Engine? Or will they just cash in and sell it? Chances are that
Lustre is being shopped around and we won't hear a peep from the Dark Tower
until a sale is announced. That could be months, and that kind of prolonged
uncertainty would not be good for the Lustre community.
