+<a name="section0">0.</a> Greetings to the Inaugural SMR (samba Mashup Report)
+=======================================================
+
+Several of Samba team members agreed during discussions
+held at Samba XP (see article #3) that periodic thread
+summaries from the recent development activities would
+be helpful for keeping the community and Samba OEM vendors
+up to date. So using editorial privilege, I've decided to
+term these as mashup reports.
+
+According to the pop culture definition from Wikipedia,
+mashup usually means:
+
+ * A web application that combines data and/or
+ functionality from more than one source
+ * A musical genre of songs that consist entirely of
+ parts of other songs
+ * A video that is edited from more than one source
+ to appear as one
+ * In parts of the UK means a mash or pot of tea
+ (colloq. Yorkshire), other areas brew or stand tea
+
+The second and third definitions are probably the most
+appropriate here. So without further ado, here's the
+inaugural bi-weekly (give or take a few days) report.
+
+cheers, jerry

+============================================
+<a name="section1">1.</a> Plans in Motion for 6 Month Release Cycle
+============================================
+
+Based on feedback from the community, Samba Team members have
+agreed to put into place a six month release cycle on new
+Samba 3.x releases. The initial 3.2 release will start the
+clock on the next major development effort.
+
+In the thread beginning at [1], Jerry Carter (Samba Team
+member) proposed:
+
+ Once a new release cycle is done, that version goes
+ straight to bug fix mode and the next release cycle gets
+ a new minor release number.
+
+ So for example, assume 3.2.0 is released in the next
+ 30 days. The 3.2 releases are immediately in maintenance
+ mode meaning we can fix all the regressions and bugs we
+ like. But no new features. The next 6 month cycle clock
+ starts ticking and that becomes v3.3.
+
+ Karolin (Seeger) will have the job of setting dates and
+ we have to stick to them.
+
+Christian Perrier (a Debian samba package maintainer) pointed
+out this would be a lot of work and maybe not achievable.
+Jim McDonough (Samba Team member) highlighted Jerry's main
+point which is:
+
+ ...it will definitely require a mind shift from the "Wait,
+ we have to have _my_ major piece" mode that currently
+ dominates scheduling of releases. The developer who writes
+ the code has to decide if the code will be ready for the
+ schedule, rather than delaying the schedule (and everyone's
+ code) until the code is ready.
+
+
+===========================
+<a name="section2">2.</a> Samba 3.2.0pre3 Released
+===========================
+
+The third Preview release of Samba 3.2.0 was released on
+Friday, April 25 [2]. This is the last scheduled preview
+release with an estimated date for RC1 set by Karolin Seeger
+(Samba 3.2 release manager) of May 23 [3]. The number and
+frequency of release candidates will be decided by the
+quality and feedback from the community testers of the pre3
+release.
+
+And in preparation for committing to a 6 month release cycle,
+the Samba 3.3 development branch has been created to stem
+the rate of change in the 3.2 code [4][5]. Samba 3.3 is
+tentatively scheduled for delivery sometime in December, 2008.
+
+
+
+===============================================
+<a name="section3">3.</a> Samba XP 2008 Concludes as YASC (yet another
+ successful conference)
+===============================================
+
+The seventh annual Samba eXPerience Conference concluded in
+Goettingen, DE, on April 18th [6].
+
+Talks were presented about topics such as:
+
+ * Samba's relationship with the Protocol Freedom
+ Information Foundation (PFIF)
+ * SMB2 protocol details
+ * The latest developments in projects such as the Linux
+ CIFS file system, OpenChange, and of course Samba itself.
+
+This year marked a milestone as both members of the Samba
+Team, Microsoft engineers, and developers from numerous
+companies openly presented and discussed details of
+CIFS and related protocol based upon newly available WSPP
+documentation.
+
+Conference pictures are available on-line now. The audio
+portion of talks as well as session slides will be available
+soon from the conference web site.
+
+
+=======================================================
+<a name="section4">4.</a> Samba Documentation repository moved from SVN to Git
+=======================================================
+
+The Docbook/XML source of the Samba HOWTOs and man pages is
+no longer hosted in Subversion. In an effort to ensure
+more release specific and accurate docs, the samba-docs
+SVN report has been migrated into the Samba git repository.
+The Docbook/XML source now resides in the samba/docs-xml/
+directory.
+
+The Subversion repository will remain online for reference
+but has been closed to all changes.
+
+
+=========================================================
+<a name="section5">5.</a> Bugzilla Day for Samba 3.2 scheduled for Friday, May 9
+=========================================================
+
+Another Bugzilla day of tracking down defects in Samba 3.2
+has been scheduled for Friday, May 9 [7]. All developers
+and users interested in the 3.2 release are encouraged
+to participate on the #samba-technical channel on
+irc.freenode.net.
+
+If you want to participate, here are a few guidelines:
+
+ * You do not have to be a developer.
+ * You must be running 3.2.0pre3 on some server or client.
+ * You must be using a configuration that worked
+ successfully on a prior version of Samba 3.0.
+ * You must be comfortable providing sufficient debug
+ information in the case that we identify a legitimate
+ failure. This might be debug logs, network traces, etc...
+
+
+=============================
+<a name="section6">6.</a> Call for developer reports
+=============================
+
+Future editions of the Samba Mashup Report will include a
+section on current developer activities, please send a short
+summary of your work to webeditor at samba.org.
