+<!-- SNIP -->
+<p>
+The Google Summer of Code 2017 Mentor Summit ran from Oct 13th to the
+15th, at Google’s Sunnyvale campus. It was held as an "Unconference", so
+most of the sessions were pretty ad-hoc.
+</p>
+<p>
+On Saturday morning I ran into a couple of ex-colleagues, attending
+the summit on behalf of the Performance Co-Pilot project.
+We took the opportunity to start the conference with a monitoring BoF,
+which focussed on some of the current upstream PCP challenges, such as
+bulk archive analysis and caching (with Redis).
+We had a quick look at the PCP cifs.ko monitoring agent, where I raised
+concerns about it only supporting the SMB1 /proc/fs/cifs/Stats format.
+My preference would be to in future move the cifs.ko stats into
+per-metric files nested under per-mount/session sysfs directories, to
+make the stats easier to parse programatically.
+</p>
+<p>
+I attended quite a few other interesting talks, covering Computer
+Vision/AI, Linux/ChromeOS (Grant Grundler), Crypto Currencies, and
+fuzzing.
+The libfuzzy talk, held by Kostya Serebryany, was probably the most
+relevant to Samba. Kostya walked through the list of FOSS projects which
+are automatically tested as part of Google’s oss-fuzz program, and
+described the breakdown of bugs discovered (hundreds of potential
+security vulnerabilities). Most of the material can be found at
+<a
href="https://testing.googleblog.com/2017/05/oss-fuzz-five-months-later-and.html";>https://testing.googleblog.com/2017/05/oss-fuzz-five-months-later-and.html</a>
.
+As a GSoC participant, Samba is in a position to receive GCE backed
+automated fuzz testing. It should just be a matter of ensuring that
+Samba can be built with LLVM/Clang, identifying target APIs, and
+submitting a request via
+<a
href="https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz#accepting-new-projects";>https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz#accepting-new-projects</a>
.
+</p>
+<p>
+I gave a quick presentation on rapid testing of cifs.ko against Samba
+from source (similar to <a
href="https://youtu.be/XTEGe0lG3yc";>https://youtu.be/XTEGe0lG3yc</a>).
+Not many attendees, but still got some good questions at the end.
+</p>
+<p>
+In the hallway track, I spoke with Ton Roosendaal about a few issues that
+he’d been seeing regarding macOS SMB clients against Samba.
+A few questions came in about cross-share server-side copy, which I was
+gladly able to answer.
+On Sunday, we had a get together for
+<a href="https://sfconservancy.org/";>Software Freedom Conservency</a>
+member projects. After introductions, we discussed upcoming events, and fund
+raising challenges; the SFC are ramping up for an end of year fund raising
+drive.
+</p>
+<p>
+[I would like to thank <a href="https://opensource.google.com/";>Google</a> for
+paying for my travel to the event.]
+</p>
+<p>
+Cheers, David Disseldorp
