SambaXP conference in Göttingen, Germany (May 3rd - 7th, 2010)
Hi all, SambaXP is coming up in Göttingen, Germany (May 3rd - 7th, 2010). http://sambaxp.org/ I know the economy sucks, and travel budgets are really hard to find, but if you''re a Samba OEM, vendor or serious user you really should be there :-). Hack with the developers ! The SambaXP hack room is full of people solving problems with the same code you ship to customers. Benefit from intense debugging cycles with the people who put the bugs there in the first place. Meet Microsoft ! Microsoft will be attending with some of the people who created and wrote the new SMB2 protocol we''re currently implementing in Samba. Most of the Samba developers will be present, and it''s a great place to meet them and get specific answers to that one bug that''s been annoying your customers (and you can''t find an answer to online :-). When you''re standing in front of the person who''s responsible for that area of code it''s much harder for them to ignore your problem (and I''m as guilty as everyone on this :-). Plus it''s a great way to request new features and functionality, or get the changes *you need* made in the main Samba code you depend on everyday. This isn''t an advert, just an appeal for all Samba OEMs vendors, and interested users to come to SambaXP and let us know how Samba is working for you (or not) in your products. We''re very flexible and willing to make changes to help make your life easier (see this blog post: http://news.samba.org/developers/Samba_Team_Blog_3 for details). Hope to see you there !
