Cthon 99 Registration Open (Fwd)

For those who are interested by testing the interoperability of their LDAP
enabled products, Connectathon `99 will take place in March 4-11 in San Jose.

Connectathon brings together the world's LDAP engineers along with their
implementations and source code.  Then we have fun finding bugs in each
other's code.  There's also a series of talks over several afternoons (open to
anyone who walks in).

LDAP v3 and extensions will be a big topic of conversation there. Also, it
will be a nice opportunity to test your clients and servers against the LDAP
enabled Solaris 8 (prototype).

For information on LDAP testing, contact Ludovic Poitou
([email protected]).

The Connectathon website is at: www.connectathon.org

I've appended additional information from Audrey Van Belleghem,
the Connectathon manager.
