"Growing Up" by the chairman John H. Terpstra

 

Welcome to Samba to the beginnings of "Samba eXPerience2010". Please join the Samba Team and SerNet as we work together to create a sambaXP event that will kick-start a new era of growth in the deployment and use of Samba.

 

It is my pleasure to set the theme for the Samba eXPerience 2010 conference – one that runs contra the course of economic decline and the negativity of the day. Our chosen theme for this year is: “Growing Up”

 

As young people grow up the temptation to reach for the stars is ever present. Those who do reach for the stars generally get further in life than those who don't.

 

Samba4 has had many years of developer effort, in 2010 that effort will finally pay dividends with the release of the Samba Directory Server. In many ways this release will help Samba users to reach higher, broader, and deeper into organizational network environments and to meet the needs of a greater level of interoperability.

 

Think of all the exciting opportunities, and the ways that you may be able to help document the deployment of the next generations and releases of Samba to provide a broader level of legacy-systems integration and to expand the horizons for transparent data delivery across todays information technology platforms.

 

The Samba Team and SerNet are seeking offers for papers, presentations, tutorials and workshops.

 

Please browse the Call for paper area on this site and get in early!

 

Remember: This is your event – the earlier you start the less pressure we will all be under to make this event a success :-)

 

May the greetings of this season be a spice of life to you and all around you, and may you be inspired to help sambaXP 2010 to set a new high standard for open source software projects.
