Dear Workshop organizers,

Although the e-mail was sent to the moderated announce list on Monday 14 April 2025, it was not approved by the moderators and sent to list subscribers until Friday 18 April 2025 (Good Friday).

The specified deadline is Monday 21 April 20025 (Easter Monday).

In the past announcements for Workshop CFPs have also been sent to openafs-devel and openafs-info to ensure a broader audience.

In light of the fact that the CFP has been effectively announced on a holiday weekend with a due date of a holiday, I suggest the Workshop organizers reconsider the selection of the CFP deadline.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that for a second year in a row the Workshop is scheduled for the same dates as the Apple WWDC conference.   A conference which this year might be of particular relevance to OpenAFS developers given the plans to further restrict the use of kernel extensions.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Altman
