Just a note to let you know that we recently learned of the passing of R L "Bob" Morgan. Bob was most recently known for his considerable work on identity management, but before his employment at the University of Washington worked at Stanford and was involved in Kerberos and AFS during his time there. Bob was among the people who externally pushed the cause of open sourcing AFS, and in a conference call where it became clear that would actually happen, posed a scenario which became a running joke for years when he suggested the possibility of providing support for this open source AFS as "R L Bob's AFS Company". Bob will be sorely missed. You can read more here: https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/rlbob/Home -- Derrick
