Attendees: Jeffrey Altman, Derrick Brashear, Todd DeSantis, Craig Everhart, Laura Stentz, Warren Yenson. Meeting Summary: * Updates on 1.4.1 release We are close to a release candidate. The fifth release candidate will be available in source form tonight on all platforms. Binaries will be built for Windows and MacOS. * Confirmation of proposed release plan for 1.5/1.6 It was proposed that we release client-side byte range locking in 1.5 and 1.6 releases according to Jeff Altman's proposal sent to the Elders on 12/16/05. The Elders have agreed with this plan with the announcement letter. Jeff will send out the proposal to the community for comment. * Discussion of standardization of new RPCs and RPC extensions. What process should OpenAFS follow? Jeff Altman has a collection of RPC extensions that he would like to have evaluated. Todd will go back and look at those from IBM's view point. Jeff has proposed that we set up a standards mailing list to discuss protocol changes. It was proposed that we post to both the existing standards mailing list and a new OpenAFS standards list. * DNS Contact Laura agreed to be the new DNS contact. Derrick will have this change made, and he will have correspondence sent to Laura's IBM address. * USENIX Funds There is $1200 in the USENIX OpenAFS account which could possibly be added to the excess workshop funds held at CMU (Derrick will check). The Elders agreed that we should try to put the $1200 into the CMU account first and then evaluate a formal proposal for spending the money. (Other potential items: workshop, etc.) * Approval of announcement letter regarding changes to the Elders (to be sent separately) Laura will send out a draft announcement letter on Elders/Gatekeeper changes for approval by the Elders. Please approve within 24 hours of receipt so that we may move ahead with this announcement and with the client-side byte range locking announcement letter. * Meeting Notes Derrick suggested that meeting notes be sent out to the community. He agreed to do this, and will send out edited minutes for comment or default acceptance. * Next meeting: February 28, 1:00 PM Eastern time
