A Thank-You From the Open-Source Community
Tianon, a long-time MooseFS GitHub contributor, sent us an unsolicited note of appreciation — a reminder of why open-source development is worth doing.
Last week, we received a heartfelt email from Tianon, a user of the MooseFS open-source version and a valuable GitHub contributor. Our entire MooseFS team was delighted to receive this recognition of our work.
“Hey, there’s nothing urgent here, and no need to even reply — I just know this job is often really thankless, and I really, really appreciate your team, your company, and your product/project. I’m thrilled that you’re doing well enough to continue maintaining it and that we continue to get the benefits of those fixes in the excellent open source project.”

We are passionate about MooseFS and believe that developing open-source software in collaboration with our community benefits both users and our company, resulting in a trustworthy and reliable product.
On that note, we’d like to inform you that we are currently working on the MooseFS 4.x open-source version. It will take some time, as source code development is a time-consuming process.
The free open-source version of MooseFS is suited for individual users and small organizations. For more prominent entities, such as public institutions and business companies, we offer the MooseFS Pro licensed edition, which provides a specialized, tailored solution with professional technical support.
Your data are equally safe in both versions, the open-source and the professional one of MooseFS.
Thank you, MooseFS Team
