[Sheflug] Jeremy Allison - Samba Presentation

 


           Sheffield Linux Users Group (ShefLUG)

        Meetings are free and open to anyone to attend.

Our next meeting will take place on the afternoon of the 9th of 
October at the St Georges Lecture Theatre 3, University of 
Sheffield, Mappin Street.  There is seating for about 175 people.  
Coffee and tea is served at 13.30 and the presentation begins at 
14.00.  Finish at about 16.00 or whenever everyone stops asking 
questions.

Jeremy Allison will give a talk about Samba internals and what we expect 
to see in the new release of Samba which we think will be released some 
time next year.

If you have an interest in software production and you know very little 
of Open Source and Free software then this is a great opportunity to 
find out something about it.   Samba is the file sharing software which 
allows seamless integration of heterogeneous networks thus making Unix 
and Windows work together as though they are just one network or 
computer.  It is one of the showcase projects of the Open Source era.  
Jeremy is one of the two programmers who between them wrote most of the 
code in Samba. The other is Andrew Tridgell who created Samba and its 
predecessor which was a client for the DEC Pathworks protocol.  Jeremy 
and Andrew began working together in 1993.  Jeremy has worked for Cygnus 
and VA Linux and in more recent times Hewlett-Packard and others.  With 
the Samba project he handles release engineering and co-ordinates 
development efforts and also acts as a corporate liaison to companies 
which use Samba code commercially.  He's a good speaker and he knows 
what he is talking about.
