Description
The dCache consortium is an international group with headquaters at DESY (dCache.org). The main consortium members are FERMIlab, NDGF and DESY. The goal is to provide a highly scalable storage software solution for high demanding storage sites. dCache is supported and funded by the Open Science Grid (US), the European Middleware Initiative (EMI), the "Physics at the Terascale" Project of the German HGF and the German d-grid project (Phase III).
dCache developers meet once a year to collect customers requirements and design and work on mid term developements. In addition, code camps are organized to ease developers interactions.
