In one of the Swift sessions at the Denver PTG Doug Hellman suggested there are some programs in RedHat that work with university graduate students on doing computer science research [1] which might be appropriate for certain kinds of work on some parts of OpenStack.
Swift has solved a few interesting mathy sort problems over the years, we've got a few things still left to tackle. Coming up we've got container sharding concensus, LOSF slab file compaction, unified consistency engine RPC, and that troubling little golang fork/rewrite abandonware [2]. Probably others too. I field questions about how swift works 8-10 times a year from university students apparently doing some sort of analysis on Swift related to the course work... it never occurred to me I might be able to suggested something they might think on which would be useful? I don't really have the capacity or the know how to pursue it further than this, any one have any ideas or experience along these lines? -clayg 1. https://research.redhat.com/ 2. https://github.com/troubling/hummingbird
