There is a lot of innovation happening in the storage technologies and Open Source projects are an important contributor in this space.
From a end user perspective, we are already witness to a personal terabyte, SCSI, SATA disks, RAID and increasingly sophisticated backups.
Recognizing the requirement to disseminate and share information, TWINCLING Society has started a Storage Technologies discussion list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/storage/
We plan to discuss the following topics -
- Open Source storage Projects, Products and Libraries.
