The primary activities of OpenZFS are the annual OpenZFS Developer Summit <http://www.open-zfs.org/wiki/OpenZFS_Developer_Summit_2018> and the monthly OpenZFS Leadership Meetings <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w2jv2XVYFmBVvG1EGf-9A5HBVsjAYoLIFZAnWHhV-BM/edit?ts=5bb3b66c#> . There is also an OpenZFS GitHub repo, which has identical code to illumos. This is used to streamline the process of getting changes into illumos (removing some of the burden of testing and the illumos RTI process). This repo will continue to exist as long as there's need for it and folks able to keep the automation running. The naming of this GitHub project was perhaps unfortunate, since it is specific to illumos and not platform-agnostic. I was under the impression that OpenZFS was the upstream for all the ZFS > implementations (sans > Oracle). Being "upstream" is more a matter of degree than an absolute ordering. In the past, most ZFS features have originated in illumos, and those changes have been ported to the other platforms (notably FreeBSD and ZoL). Looking forward, we see more features originating in ZoL. The OpenZFS community (including FreeBSD) is working to put in place technical processes to ensure that new ZFS features are available on all platforms. The original post in this thread was a proposal for how to do that. --mattReceived on Wed Dec 19 2018 - 17:11:47 UTC
