Ceph is expanding its community efforts in several areas. It has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2014. It is working to increase academic outreach and collaboration with students. The Ceph wiki and contribution guidelines pages have been updated. Ceph Days user conferences will be held in multiple locations worldwide. Efforts continue to form a Ceph Foundation and work with various open source projects on integration. Global Ceph meetups are community-organized for local users. The next Ceph Developer Summit will be a virtual event in March 2014 to coordinate project work. Community metrics are now available on a public website.
