Super Computing 2008 (SC08) in Austin and IETF in Minneapolis are next week. At SC08, several storage vendors supporting pNFS will host a Birds of a Feather (BOF)meeting. The BOF is scheduled for November 19, 2008, 5:30-7:00 pm in Ballroom F of the Austin Convention Center. In addition NetApp will have a booth at SC08.
Unfortunately, IETF and other obligations prevent me from attending SC08. Joshua Konkle is scheduled to represent NetApp at the pNFS BOF.
At IETF I am scheduled to present an update on Federated FS (standing in for James Lentini), and my proposals for de-dupe awareness and pNFS metadata striping.
