Fwd: 2nd european openAFS Workshop

[Fabrizio Manfredi]

Dear FreeBSD site,

I would like advise a new event for September the event the 2nd
European openAFS Workshop  (Rome, September 28-30, 2009)

The workshop is mainly a platform for system administrators to
exchange their knowledge and report use cases. Topics of interest
include related technologies like Kerberos or LDAP and all supported
operating systems. Here are just some ideas beyond site reports, which
would be worth to be presented:

What are the advantages of OpenAFS at your site?
What does prevent its use in your context?
How does it compare to other distributed file systems?
What is your experience with respect to its application for cluster,
grid, high-performance computing?
Is the BSD family of operating systems (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD)
employed somewhere?
How do you approximate RW replication?
Do you apply encryption on the client side and/or do you encrypt vicep
partitions?
What does your SSO solution look like?
Is someone integrating smart-cards?
What does your technology stack look like?
How do you organize backups?
How about suitable underlying hardware?
