Appreciation from MooseFS open-source user
Last week, we received a heartfelt email from Tianon, a user of the MooseFS open-source version and a valuable GitHub contributor. Tianon expressed his gratitude for our ongoing development of MooseFS as open-source software:
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. 🙇💕
Our entire MooseFS team was delighted to receive this recognition of our work. 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, but please be patient!
MooseFS open-source version is well-suited for individual users and small organizations. However, when it comes to more prominent entities, such as public institutions and business companies, we are well aware that they may have different needs. Bigger organizations require solutions tailored to a larger scale and end users’ specific needs. To those users, we dedicate MooseFS Pro, a licensed and technically supported professional version of our software. Of course, your data are equally safe in both versions, the open-source and the professional one of MooseFS.
Thank you,
MooseFS Team
