+<a name="section1">1.</a> Samba 3.2.0 Moves closer to Release
+======================================
+
+Samba 3.2.0 moves close to a final release as the first release
+candidate snapshot is scheduled for May 23rd.  Karolin Seeger
+lists a few critical bugs yet to be fixed in her recent mail to
+samba-technical. [1]

+<a name="section2">2.</a> Bug fix release for Samba 3.0 in the works
+=============================================
+
+A bug fix release for the Samba 3.0 series has been scheduled for
+release on Monday, May 19.  This will be a culmination of fixes
+in the v3-0-test branch.  The original announcement to the
+samba-technical mailing list can be found in the list archives. [1]

+=========================================
+
+SMR: Tell us about one of you pet side projects at the moment.
+
+VL: One particularly confusing part of Samba 3.x is the way we
+    represent the "current user" information. We have multiple
+    places where we represent the current credentials.  For
+    example there is the "current_user" global variable. In
+    "connection_struct" we have sets of user-ids, there is
+    the "struct user_struct" and so on.  I want to replace all
+    those places where we store and use the current user
+    information by passing around the central structure that
+    falls out of authentication: The "auth_serversupplied_info".
+
+SMR: Is there some reason you are focusing on this cleanup?
+
+VL: While trying to implement an ncacn_ip_tcp listener on port 135
+    I realized that this needs to be consolidated.  In an end-point
+    mapper, there is no such thing as a connection_struct or a vuid
+    which are very SMB/CIFS specific things.  These things are
+    normally what smbd needs to tie back into the user tokens.  It
+    seems to be a necessary refactoring to avoid the extra lookup
+    to find the current_user information, especially since the
+    traditionally used lookup key is not available in all
+    circumstances.
+
+
+========================
+<a name="section4">4.</a> Samba at Connectathon
+========================
+
+It's that time of year when storage developers huddle together in
+the many interop labs at Connectathon located in San Jose, CA. [1]
+
+Several Samba team members relocated to the labs this week in order
+weed out defects in Samba and the Linux CIFS client.  On hand for
+testing are many flavors of SMB/CIFS clients and servers from various
+companies.  Already the first few days of testing have proven fruitful
+with multiple issues tracked down and fixed for both the upcoming
+Samba and Linux kernel releases.
+
+As part of the effort to broaden the use of the newer Unix Extensions
+to the CIFS protocol, work has begun in the Linux CIFS client to take
+advantage of the encrypted share support which Samba server now
+provides.   The Linux kernel version 2.6.26 cifs client will include
+support for Microsoft's Distributed File System (MS-DFS) which is
+also being tested this week.

+============================
+<a name="section5">5.</a> Samba4 - Fact or Fantasy?
+============================
+
+In case you are wondering, the Samba v4-0-test branch is a combination
+of fact and fantasy.   Currently the code base is undergoing alpha
+releases (i.e. development preview snapshots) and stands at
+v4.0.0alpha3.  Developers Andrew Bartlett and Jelmer Vernooij are
+maintain their "Fantasy Page" which outlines their current weekly
+work plans and activities surrounding the Samba v4 code base. [1]

+<a name="section6">6.</a> Call for submissions and summaries
+=====================================
+
+The SMR editors are accepting submissions for stories and/or
+summaries of current Samba related events and discussions.
+Please email you submissions or requests to <a href="mailto:web-editor at samba.org">web-editor at samba.org</a>.
