During the second quarter, the Ceph Foundation focused on strengthening collaboration across the project, expanding community programs, supporting documentation efforts, and investing in regional events. This edition highlights recent governance discussions, community elections, new contributor resources, Ceph Days events, and opportunities for community members to get involved. If you have an idea for a Ceph-related event, outreach effort, or project, we encourage you to submit a funding request and work with the Foundation to help bring it to life.
