The AFS and Kerberos Best Practices Workshop Committee is happy to announce that registration for the 2011 AFS and Kerberos Best Practices Workshop is now open. As previously announced, this year's tutorials and workshop sessions will be held as an electronic conference which we hope will permit a broader range of attendees to participate in a year of reduced travel budgets.
This year we have two new tutorial instructors with significantly updated course materials. We welcome Kim Kimball as our new AFS instructor and Simon Wilkinson as our new Kerberos instructor. Kim's experience as an AFS trainer dates back to his days with IBM/Transarc and Simon has been enabling application protocols to authenticate with Kerberos and GSS-API for nearly a decade. Both have given numerous informational and entertaining talks at past workshops. http://workshop.openafs.org/afsbpw11/afstut.html http://workshop.openafs.org/afsbpw11/kerbtut.html The price for each is US$100.00.
