[OpenAFS-announce] Reminder: AFS Hackathon in Edinburgh 22-24 September 2009

[Simon Wilkinson]

Hi,

Just a quick reminder that the School of Informatics at the University  
of Edinburgh will be hosting an AFS Hackathon on the 22-24 September  
2009.

 From responses to date, it appears that the event will focus on  
discussing protocol level changes to AFS. Topics currently proposed  
include extended callbacks and callback security, callback consistency  
models, volume status extensions, client UUIDs, new security  
mechanisms (including rxk5), changes to FetchStatus, bulk transport  
mechanisms and rxosd.

It is hoped that documents describing these changes will be made  
available prior to the Hackathon so that those unable to attend in  
person may also contribute to the discussion.

If you wish to attend the Hackathon, and have not already confirmed  
your place, please let me know at sxw@inf.ed.ac.uk. Numbers are  
limited, and early responses are appreciated! A number of us are also  
planning on heading direct from Edinburgh to the European AFS  
Conference in Rome the following week.

Feel free to contact me for more details, including information on  
travel and accommodation options.

Cheers,

Simon.
