I would first like to say 'Thank you' to Sine Nomine Associates for hosting
the January 14-16 Hackathon in Leesburg, VA.  While I was not able to
attend all three days, I enjoyed the two days of design work and
development that I was able to attend.  My notes on the meeting are as
follows:

- Reviewed Extended Unions XDR draft and Tom Keiser submitted a new version
to afs3-standardization
- Discussed concerns over existing TLV draft, primarily lack of normative
reference for GetCapabilities and treating 'DAFS' as a single capability
bit.
- Discussed status of Perl modules for AFS, including AFS, AFS::Command and
AFS::Monitor which led to a discussion/coding session on libadmin.
- Reviewed libprot interface and contrasted with libvos to establish a
potential plan in how libvos might be refactored to provide a more usable
external inteface
- Andrew Deason submitted some patches to fix the building of libjafs (Java
interface)
- Discussed directory space utilization and a 'defrag' functionality.  Some
developers expressed an interest in adding that capability to the existing
volscan tool, as well as add some reporting functionality to volscan so
that admins can see how fragmented a given directory is.  There were other
discussions on even further enhancements to this.
- Discussed the in-progress Directory Object draft
- Had extensive discussion on the IPv6 situation
- Worked on allowing userspace processes to honor dbserver preferences

For the others that attended, please feel free to correct any errors or
address any oversights/omissions on my part.

Thank you,
Steven Jenkins
