Thanks John,<br><br>I have a background of building storage products (DAS , SAN) ( 7 + years) , so this is preferred area ( I think for starting I can pickup bugs/features in this area and can build my understanding about glusterfs).<br>
Also, the main reason, why I am attracted to GlusterFS is distributed storage. So I am very much interested in getting into the distributed storage area.<br><br>So my preferred areas are.<br>1. Storage / Volume / IO Path.<br>
2. Distributed file system management / IO path.<br><br><br>Regards,<br>Kunal Kushwaha <br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jan 19, 2013 at 8:22 PM, John Mark Walker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:johnmark@redhat.com" target="_blank">johnmark@redhat.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Welcome to the Gluster community! I hope you find much here to inspire you.<br>
<br>
You can also find some architectural documents here:<br>

<br>
And the developers page, as Vijay pointed out. May I ask what your particular area of interest is?<br>
<br>
Welcome!<br>
