It is my hope that you will put your skills towards a distributed

I've been waiting for years for a smart person to come along and write a
POSIX-only distributed filesystem.
it's called Lustre.
works well, scales well, is widely used, is GPL.
sadly it's not in mainline.
Lustre is tilted far too much towards high-priced storage, and needs
improvement before it could be considered for mainline.
