The virtual 2022 AFS Tech Workshop will take place Tuesday 14 June 2022,
Wednesday 15 June 2022 and Thursday 16 June 2022 from 10am EDT (UTC-4)
until 4pm EDT (UTC-4) each day.  Registration is free for speakers and a
nominal US$50.00 otherwise.  Proceeds support the OpenAFS Foundation.

This year's workshop includes discussions of four AFS-family filesystem
implementations:

  * the original Transarc/IBM AFS 3.x
  * OpenAFS
  * Linux Kernel AFS and AF_RXRPC
  * AuriStor File System

 
The talks loosely fall into the following categories:

  * three community status reports (OpenAFS, OpenAFS Foundation and
    AuriStor)
  * two end user organization site reports (Goldman Sachs and CERN)
  * three talks that together describe how the /afs file namespace lifts
    and shifts organization infrastructures to multiple clouds, and will
    accelerate the transition to modern container deployment strategies.   
  * four talks on enhancements to /afs file namespace capabilities
    covering proprietary extensions to AFS3, features already in
    production as part of AuriStorFS, and others which (if implemented)
    open the door to new application use cases.
  * three talks on the past, present and future of the RX RPC protocol. 
    RX RPC and its extensible security frameworks have been critical to
    the longevity of the /afs file namespace.  Its performance
    limitations on long pipes and fat pipes have adversely impacted wide
    area network and high performance network use cases.   Understanding
    the design decisions of the past is necessary to understanding the
    road to a brighter future.
  * five talks on tools and techniques that can be leveraged by
  * OpenAFS developers and system administrators to root cause
    undesireable behaviors; the first step to improving code quality and
    performance.
  * two Birds of a Feather meetings
  * and more

The detailed schedule can be found at:

  AFS Tech Workshop 2022 Schedule
<https://workshop.openafs.org/afsbpw22/schedule/>

The best AFS workshops of the past twenty years have included a solid
mix of attendees from a broad range of sites which deploy AFS-family
file systems as well as those that develop and support the products. 
This year's speaker list is heavily weighted towards developers and
vendors.  The timetable for the workshop (10am - 4pm EDT [UTC-4]) is not
particularly friendly to those far from the East Coast of the Americas. 
However, if you can join us I encourage you do to so.  The talks will
not be recorded so the only opportunity to hear them and participate
will be do to so live.

The two Birds of a Feather slots at the end of the Tuesday and Wednesday
sessions do not yet have topics assigned to them.  Perhaps one or both
can be turned into "lightning talk sessions" for general attendees. 
Possible topics might include:

  * mini site reports
  * technical difficulties
  * troubleshooting request
  * live public cell reviews
  * cloud migration experiences
  * anything that if might be interesting to others

Please Register for the workshop via EventBrite at
