+ <p>Samba 4 is the ambitious next version of the Samba suite that is being

+
+ <p>Samba4 alpha13 follows on from the alpha release series we have been
+ publishing since September 2007. Because various tarballs have been published claiming to be

+ possible confusion. </a>

+ which aims to document what should and should not work.</p>

+
+<p><i>"It takes nine months to create a Samba release, no matter how many engineers are working on it"</i></p>.
+
+<p>Check out the new look, updated <a href="http://samba.org">Samba.org</a> web site - complete with new logo ! We really like it as it meant we had an excuse to get new Samba Team t-shirts, and stickers for our laptops. Thanks to <a href="http://www.sernet.de/en/">SerNet</a> for taking care of our new 21st Century look.</p>
+
+<p>We recently held SambaXP - our annual get-together in Göttingen, Germany, as usual hosted very capably by SerNet.</p>
+
+<p>Many presentations were listened to, meetings were had, and fine German beer was drunk. Our friends the Microsoft SMB/SMB2 engineers attended again this year, and Tom Talpey from Microsoft announced a new project to design UNIX extensions for the SMB2 protocol. It will be hosted by Team member Chris Hertel's company, ubiqx Consulting, at <a href="http://unixsmb2.org">http://unixsmb2.org</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The slides from all the presentations will be available at <a href="http://sambaxp.org">http://sambaxp.org</a> shortly. If you didn't go, we missed you - and you should certainly make an effort to be there next year !</p>
+
+<p>We are still making great strides on Samba4, and creator of Samba Dr. Andrew Tridgell from IBM (just to be formal for once. Everyone still just calls him "tridge" :-) demonstrated two-way replication between a Microsoft Active Directory domain, and a Samba4 Domain. There is still much work to be done on the AD domain controller code, but we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel in getting to a "stable" 4.0 release. Maybe by SambaXP next year we'll have an exciting new announcement to make.</p>
+
+<p>In a Team meeting and after consultations with OEM's and Linux distributions
+we decided to move to a nine month period between major Samba releases instead
+of our previous six month release cycle. The strain of keeping to the six
+monthly cycle was too great on the release process, and nine months should give
+us a better balance between having time for feature development and time for
+testing of the Samba production release code.</p>
+
+<p>Plans for the merging of the existing file server (smbd) and authentication
+daemon code (winbindd) with the Active Directory code (samba) were made,
+and tridge demonstrated Samba4 printing using the source3 print code for
+the first time.</p>
+
+<p>Günther Deschner from Red Hat won the "code janitor of the year"
+award yet again, for his clean up of the old hand-marshalled RPC printing
+code, and was only just beaten to the post as the top code commit contributor
+into Samba by Stefan "the Machine" Metzmacher from SerNet.</p>
+
+<p>John Terpstra of Primastasys announced the clean up of the Samba.org
+<a href="http://samba.org/samba/support/">support page</a> as part of the new look for the web site. John will be
+ensuring all companies offering Samba support on the site are kept
+up to date for users to contact. Thanks for looking after that John.</p>
+
+<p>A couple of weeks after SambaXP Team members Chris Hertel (ubiqx),
+Steve French (IBM), Tim Prouty (Isilon) and Jeremy Allison (Google) met
+up at Microsoft to attend the Microsoft File Serving Plugfest. Lots of work
+on Samba's SMB2 implementation was done and tested with Microsoft's SMB2
+test tools. Kerberos support was added, locking and oplock fixes went into
+the code. It is now feature complete and available for OEM's to begin testing
+SMB2-based products based on Samba. We'll move it out of "experimental"
+status by the 3.6.0 release, but after consultations with the Linux distributors
+won't turn on SMB2 by default until the release after to be a little
+conservative in changing the default file sharing code to a new protocol.
+Give us feedback on any bugs you find.</p>
+
+<p>The rate of Samba development is picking up. Tridge showed a slide at
+SambaXP that illustrated how Samba has one of the highest change rates
+of any Free Software/Open Source project in the world, even surpassing
+the mighty Linux kernel in check-in rate. Sometimes it's like riding
+a dragon, but as everyone knows, dragon riding is really fun :-).</p>

+ <p><b>Getting to Samba 4</b></p>
+
+<p>The Samba 4 code has been worked on for over five years, and the Active
+Directory code is reaching a state where it's being run in production at
+several test sites.</p>
+
+<p>When the Samba Team met at the CIFS conference this year, we had
+a meeting to put together a plan for shipping a production Samba 4
+code-base. Here's how we think it might work.</p>
+
+<p>Currently, the Samba 3 file and print server and the Winbind identity
+mapping code are the backbone of the current Samba product. The Samba 3
+Windows NT4 compatible Domain Controller works well, but is not as widely
+deployed as it used to be (there are few sites left that don't use Active
+Directory functionality).</p>
+
+<p>So in brief, the plan is to merge the Samba 3 file server and winbindd
+code with the current Samba 4 Active Directory code, to produce a
+product that contains a production file and print server, identity mapping
+service, and Active Directory compatible Domain Controller. The file server
+is now fully cluster aware, with complete Windows semantics and is currently
+being extended to include the new SMB2 protocol and full Windows ACL
+support.</p>
+
+<p>Obviously this will require quite a lot of merge work, but we believe
+this may be possible to achieve in 2010. The plan is to keep shipping
+updates to Samba 3 (the next release is 3.5.0, followed in six months
+by 3.6.0 and so on), whilst the merge work with the Samba 4 Active
+Directory code is done in the background. Once we feel we have a stable
+code-base we will release the merged code as the "production" Samba 4
+tree.</p>
+
+<p>This way people with an existing Samba 3 production product or sites
+will have a stable and predictable upgrade to the Samba 4 release. Our
+goal is to keep the code-base stable and minimize the impact of these
+changes on our users and vendors.</p>
+
+<p>We'll probably end up renaming the component products as follows :</p>
+
+<p>o Samba 3 file and print server -> Samba file and print service.</p>
+<p>o Samba 3 winbindd -> Samba identity service.</p>
+<p>o Samba 4 Active Directory -> Samba Directory service.</p>
+
+<p>Please give us feedback on these plans. After all, we're here to
+serve our users and customers. We think with this plan we should be
+able to please at least some of the people some of the time (if not
+everyone :-).</p>
+
+<p>Once we have a merged code-base, we'll declare victory, ship Samba4
+and have the biggest darn release party since Duke Nukem Forever shipped
+and revolutionized computer gaming ! :-).</p>
+
+<p><b>Explaining Release Schedules</b></p>
+
+<p>In talking to Samba users, customers and OEM's creating products based
+on Samba, I've realized that many people don't understand what our
+release schedules look like, or what versions of Samba we support.</p>
+
+<p>Our current plans are to release a new "stable" version of Samba (a "dot
+release" after the 3) every six months. This goal is to be predictable, in the
