samba eXPerience 2013 - call for papers --------------------------------------- The SAMBA 4 birthday event! From May 14th to 17th 2013 developers and users will meet again in Goettingen, Germany at the 12th international SAMBA conference, the "samba eXPerience 2013". The first Linux distro released with SAMBA 4 with an Active Directory controller included is of course the highlight of this event! With SAMBA 4 Linux comes back to small and medium networks with full control on Windows clients via AD. A one day tutorial on Tuesday before the conference will deliver hands-on know-how for this scenario - including groupware integration with "Zarafa" or "Exchange" and Linux based software deployment with "opsi". Of course the long standing topics CTDB and clustering will again be part of the presentations - all around the buszzword "private cloud infrastructure". A BarCamp on Friday will be the closing event with the opportunity to talk to the team in self defined workshop and breakout sessions. The call for papers and early bird registration are open until February 28th 2013.
