Thats what a VPN at network borders do already.

How much would you pay per month to be listed on the 'donate' landing
page as an OpenAFS supporter, and have access to nag-free binaries?
As a comparison, what is your college monthly spend on RHEL? How
do we, as a community of developers, make a case to your management

I'd say the summary is something like this:
1) YFS (your-file-system) is forking (or re-implementing) OpenAFS to be
able to have a commercially viable business & product that will have the
financial return-on-investment needed to justify the cost of implementing

Steve:
I have written many paragraphs over the last couple of months. They are
drowned out by the noise.
There is no burnout. Russ and I both resigned from the Elders for
different reasons. You can read our resignation letters in the

Please know that this post is offered in the hopes of helping, or at least
giving a viewpoint of one that operates on the edge of the OpenAFS.
I am generally unaware of the current dilemma that seems to be facing OpenAFS.

Easy, user do call admins angry and stupid. And Admins change OpenAFS to
NFS/SMB/or anything else, which is
Hi Troy,
I admire your energy and desire to support openafs but I think this approach
would create a lot of angry people. If we deployed this at the university for
which I used to work we would have a mob of angry users. We'd end up modifying
the source to remove it.
Regarding support, some t
Could government or corporate grants be a way to raise funding for
development of new features or programmers in openafs? Especially since
openafs is open source software and everyone benefits? I'm sorry if this is
a stupid question...
I'm not sure what our high level management here would think a
How about this:
src/aklog$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../lib ./aklog
This software is free software, and depends on your ongoing support
Please consider a donation to http://openafs.org/Donate

After doing this, I realized I n
I would hope that the donation link would be a more subtle, and equally
effective incentive. If edu CIO's start getting emails from professors
asking "Why is this software we depend on asking for donations", maybe
they'd start looking at their overhead budgets. But that overhead money
will come fr
My intent was to foment a user uprising resulting in pressure on the .edu &
.com level administrators to provide funding from established budgets. More
of a corporate funding than individual contributions.
Perhaps a cc to the local spreadsheet managers would get the user needs
better communicated.

How about taking a AFS wide survey using a aklog token driven one time pop
up explaining that AFS is not being updated according to industry standards
and that it needs substantial financial support.
Most users are charged for computer support one way or an
