Gluster Community

A big thing in free software is the community itself. Getting help and sharing ideas with others working on the same technology is useful. Passing the knowledge to the next newcomer once you have learned your own ways around can be equally rewarding.

You can follow the social channels listed in the bottom of every web page to stay current with new releases, events and other news. But if you want to dive more into the community, join the mailing lists and IRC channels.

If you need help, or want to get involved with our community, join us in one of our IRC (realtime chat) channels. Please be aware that people are from different timezones and do not always follow the discussion closely, so you might not get an answer right away. In that case you could post your question to the gluster users mailing list instead.

Slack (no history)

Many developers and users are available on https://gluster.slack.com. You can use this invite link to join the room.

About Gluster

Gluster is a free and open source scalable network filesystem

Gluster is a scalable network filesystem. Using common off-the-shelf hardware, you can create large, distributed storage solutions for media streaming, data analysis, and other data- and bandwidth-intensive tasks.

Mailing lists

A lot of the development discussions and coordination and happens on our mailing lists because it enables discussion between people that are on different timezones. We have two mailing lists to separate core Gluster development communication from everything else (listed below). You can find all our mailing lists @ this link.
