These projects have no specific relationship with our project, but they are similar in some ways and so may be of interest. We sometimes exchange ideas with the developers of some of these projects, especially on the [p2p-hackers mailing list](http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers).
(Warning: some of the following distinctions between *types* of tool may be artificial, or may be more about history and culture than about technical differences.)
## more filesystem-ey
* [Octavia](http://wieldysoftware.com/octavia/) is a new distributed filesystem inspired by Tahoe-LAFS and intended to improve on Tahoe-LAFS in performance and usability. It is very new and not yet usable except for experimentation. licence: GPL
* [ceph](http://ceph.newdream.net/about) is a distributed filesystem intended to be scalable and robust. It includes kernel code to be loaded into a Linux kernel. There are several peer-reviewed papers about the design. licence: LGPL
* [iRODS](http://irods.org) is an open source grid technology. Development is funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Archives and Records Administration. license: BSD
* [Hadoop](http://hadoop.apache.org/core/) is open source, inspired by the Google File System, written in Java, supported by Yahoo, and seems to have broad acceptance among programmers (at least compared to the alternatives). licence: Apache Software Licence v2.0
* [CloudStore](http://kosmosfs.sourceforge.net) formerly known as "Kosmos Distributed File System" -- is open source, inspired by the Google File System and written in C++. licence: Apache Software Licence v2.0
* [mogilefs](http://www.danga.com/mogilefs/) is open source, inspired by the Google File System, written in Perl and uses MySQL. It was written by the folks who made [LiveJournal](http://livejournal.com). The name is an anagram for "OMG files". licence: some combination of BSD and GPL and Artistic.
## more database-ey
* [Cassandra](http://incubator.apache.org/cassandra/) is a distributed database, based on the Amazon Dynamo design. licence: Apache Software Licence v2.0
## more p2p-ey
* [GNUnet](http://gnunet.org) is an anonymous, censorship-resistant, file-sharing network. licence: GPLv2+
* [flud backup](http://flud.org) is an ambitious decentralized backup system. flud has the distinction of being one of the few decentralized storage projects with a sense of humor. It appears to be dormant. licence: GPLv3
* [Camlistore](http://camlistore.org/) is a distributed data store plus some ideas about synchronization, sharing, and modelling. licence: Apache
* [git](http://git-scm.com/) is a decentralized revision control tool. No wait! It is a beautiful decentralized data store with a grotesque revision control tool built on top. (Zooko takes full responsibility for this careless slander.) licence: GPLv2
## other
