We've had a presentation on Moose file system, but it's been many years
since that, it could be time for another. I would be particularly
interested in a talk where someone could point out the merits of the
various other similar file systems such as gluster and ceph.
Doing a live presentation probably won't be an option because of the
time difference, since our presentation wouldn't start till 10PM for
them and their presentaion would show at 4PM for us.
We'd certainly be interested in showing any particularly good videos,
especially if the original presenter could be made available to answer
any questions after the video.
Our videos, of course, are available (eventually) on my page.
(Yeah, yeah, I know I'm a little behind on getting the videos out)
