Derrick Brashear (of CMU), Ted McCabe (of MIT) and I would like to invite you to participate in a one-day AFS workshop at LISA 2000. The LISA 2000 conference will be held December 3-8, 2000, in New Orleans. The workshop itself will be held on Tuesday, December 5th. The workshop is designed to be a forum for education and information. We would like all potential participants to submit one or both of: - a short paper addressing topics they consider important to the present and/or future of AFS and/or Arla - an abstract for a short paper (15-20 minutes) to be presented on work done or in progress relating to AFS or Arla All participants should be prepared to actively discuss a variety of AFS and Arla related topics, but should also be aware that every topic raised by potential participants may not be covered. We ask that very specific complaints or problems be held until the AFS Birds-of-Feather session, as yet unscheduled but likely to be held later that evening (for that All-Day-of-AFS feeling). At this time we are expecting people from Transarc as well as Arla development folk to come participate. Submissions and questions may be addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LISA is considered *the* conference for Systems Administrators. It is run by SAGE, a subdivision of Usenix.
