[WinPartners] REMINDER: WinPartners NOON TODAY

[Paul K. Dzus]

Quoting Paul Dzus <pdzus at MIT.EDU>:

> To all WinPartners:
>
> We hope you will start your autumn off by joining us on Monday, September
> 25th, from Noon to 1pm at the N42 Demo Center.
>
> We will have two speakers from IS&T's Software Release Team as our guests:
>
> Alex Kozlov, the Windows Platform Coordinator, will bring us up to date on
> the Vista Release Project and internal testing results. [Release Candidate 1
> became available from Microsoft earlier this month.]
>
> Bill Cattey, the Linux Platform Coordinator, will lead a discussion on
> OpenAFS for windows:
>
> AFS has been the MIT Enterprise Filesystem for Athena and other Unix/Linux
> platforms for some time.  Windows users of the win.mit.edu domain have also
> had AFS. MIT Software Release is considering offering support for OpenAFS
> for windows for systems that are not part of the win.mit.edu domain.
>
> The purpose of this discussion will be to learn what WinPartners thinks is
> the best way forward:
>
>    How much value is there to supporting OpenAFS for non win.mit.edu
> systems?
>    Is there some other approach that would be better?
>    What are sensible long and short term strategies to pursue?
>
> Thanks in advance for your participation and feedback.  We look forward to
> seeing you on Monday!
