New stable release series of OpenAFS are few and far between; averaging
more than five years between major release. This alpha release is a
major milestone. A point at which I believe it is valuable to
acknowledge those who have contributed and the scope of their contributions.
The changes contributed towards 1.8 since the initial 1.6.x branch are
summarized as follows:

It is very important to acknowledge the many roles that Ben Kaduk is
serving for the OpenAFS community including Guardian, 1.8 Release
Manager, and Security Officer. The 1.8 alpha release would not have
occurred without his substantial and uncompensated efforts. Ben is
neither employed by a company that uses AFS nor does the OpenAFS
Foundation nor anyone else pay Ben for his time and expertise.
I don't know what Ben wants for Christmas but I would encourage all who
value OpenAFS to write letters to the North Pole to ensure that Ben is
not mistakenly placed on the naughty list. Ben has given the OpenAFS
community an early present.
