Introducing Alluxio Open Source Project Governance

May 30, 2016 By Haoyuan Li

We’re excited to announce that the Alluxio open source project is adopting the Benevolent Dictator For Life (BDFL) model. The day-to-day management of the project will be carried out by the Project Management Committee (PMC). Within the PMC, there are Maintainers, who are responsible for upholding the quality of the code in their respective components.
With the adoption of a project management mechanism, we believe it will further accelerate the project growth and enable contributors around the world to easily collaborate to bring exciting new features and improvements to Alluxio.

Today, we are very excited to announce the 1.0 release of Alluxio, the world’s first memory-centric virtual distributed storage system, which unifies data access and bridges computation frameworks and underlying storage systems. Applications only need to connect with Alluxio to access data stored in any underlying storage systems. Additionally, Alluxio’s memory-centric architecture enables data access orders of magnitude faster than existing solutions.
