Hi all, I've accepted a new job at Red Hat working with the Ceph engineering team, and I'll be leaving USGS on October 31. Since most of my work on AFS was related to my job at USGS, I'm stepping down as a gatekeeper on the project. (This isn't a request from my new employer - it's just that my wife and I had a new baby this summer, and I can't commit the time that I once could when I was on staff at USGS.) In my spare time I had done some preliminary work on redesigning the openafs.org website, and that work-in-progress effort is here: https://gitorious.org/ktdreyer/openafs-web , specifically the "ktdreyer-redesign" branch. homepage2.jpg was the mockup from which I was working. I'd also been maintaining the openafs package in RPM Fusion, which I've orphaned.[1] This effectively means that the packages will be retired and pulled from the repository. If there's someone else who wants to maintain openafs in RPM Fusion, please get in touch as soon as possible. If I don't hear from anyone, I plan to formally retire the package in early November. In terms of my other AFS-related Fedora/EPEL packages, such as pam_afs_session and kstart, I'm keeping them in the distro for now because they require such little ongoing work. I'm not sure how long I'll keep them, and from what I understand Russ has given up upstream maintenance, but they'll be around for now. (I think Simon Wilkinson is officially on the co-maintainer ACL for kstart and remctl at least.) I'll stay a co-maintainer for ikiwiki and its Perl dependencies as well, since MIT is presently using those for wiki.openafs.org, and once the packages are in the distro they involve relatively little maintenance. It has been great working with the OpenAFS community and I really enjoyed getting to meet those of you who said hello at conferences. I wish you all the best with continuing AFS development. - Ken [1] https://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-users/2014-October/000450.html
