Hi Sage, It's been an amazing journey - the Ceph project has made a huge difference in the way the world stores information, likely for many years to come. Stability and scalability of Ceph has been a real pleasure to work with. We at ISS wish you all the best in your next endeavors, and forever appreciate your brilliance, persistence, and pursuit of excellence. -- Alex Gorbachev ISS/Storcium On Fri, Oct 15, 2021 at 10:40 AM Sage Weil wrote: > This fall I will be stepping back from a leadership role in the Ceph > project.

17 years of your tireless contribution in building ceph, building community, helping all users across the world is just mind blowing. Tons of storage systems out there serving in the community is due to your tireless efforts. The community will surely miss you a lot but at the same time I am happy for the other social cause you are fighting for, with your energy and passion you will surely make a huge dent over there. Thank you for being such a great leader for the Ceph Community and providing a beautiful scale out storage system.

Thanks so much Sage, it's difficult to put into words how much you've done over the years. You're always a beacon of the best aspects of open source - kindness, wisdom, transparency, and authenticity. So many folks have learned so much from you, and that's reflected in the vibrant Ceph community around the world. All the best in whatever you do in the future!
