+<p class=headline>2017 SNIA Conference and Microsoft Trip Report</p>
+<p>
+Last month was a very productive one for the Samba project.  The
+yearly Storage Networking Industry Association Storage Developers
+Conference (SNIA-SDC) was held in Santa Clara, California. As usual it
+was an excuse for as many Team members as possible to get together and
+hack on interoperability between Samba and other vendor SMB1/2/3 and
+Active Directory software, as well as go out for spectacularly bad
+Mexican food and drink margaritas.
+</p>
+<p>
+After the conference many Team members went up to Redmond, Washington
+- Microsoft HQ, to an event generously hosted by Microsoft to improve
+Samba / Windows interoperability. Thanks a <b>LOT</b> to Microsoft for
+hosting us and putting up with our strange requirements (No blue
+M&M's, Metze, really ?).

+</p>
+<p>
+Some of the exciting things that we worked on were:
+</p>
+<p class="headline">SMB3 in the cloud !</p>
+<p>
+At SNIA-SDC we did a demonstration in conjunction with Visuality
+Systems, Apple, and Microsoft, of six different SMB client
+implementations accessing the same data simultaneously in Microsoft's
+Azure Cloud file store over encrypted SMB3. Amazingly, everything
+worked as planned.
+</p>
+<p class="headline">Persistent handles and leases, how <b>DO</b> they work ?</p>
+<p>
+Ralph Böhme of SerNet did lots of research on how persistent handles
+interact with leases and Günther Deschner of Red Hat worked on adding
+lease break retransmission tests. This work goes a long way towards
+creating the kind of tests we need to ensure our implementation will
+be completely compatible with Windows clients.
+</p>
+<p class="headline">SMB and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) in the Linux kernel.</p>
+<p>
+Stefan Metzmacher of SerNet prototyped an smbdirect.ko module for the
+Linux kernel, which will make SMB-Direct with RDMA reads and writes
+available for user space applications like Samba's 'smbd' and
+'smbclient' as well as in kernel uses. The Linux kernel cifs.ko client
+might also use it in future. It makes use of native socket system
+calls, and simulates the traffic of SMB over TCP/NBT with the 4 byte
+length header. This makes it transparent to the application except for
+the special RDMA read/write fast path operations.
+</p>
+<p>
+Aurélien Aptel of SUSE worked on updating the cifs.ko kernel
+documentation which is really old. The most interesting change is in
+the TODO file which serves as a roadmap of where cifs.ko is
+going. Aurélien, who also collaborated with Pavel Shilovsky of
+Microsoft on adding compound requests for SMB2+ to the Linux kernel
+client.
+</p>
+<p class="headline">SMB3 UNIX Extensions</p>
+<p>
+Jeremy Allison of Google and Steve French of Primary Data worked on
+design and prototyping of the UNIX extensions for SMB3, in
+collaboration with Tom Talpy, David Goebel and Mathew George of
+Microsoft. Watch this space for more details soon.
+</p>
+<p class="headline">Samba on Windows !</p>
+<p>
+But the prize for hack-of-the year goes to James Cain of Snell
+Advanced Media and Volker Lendecke of Sernet. James told Volker how to
+disable the built-in SMB server on Windows, allowing Volker (with some
+small changes) to get the Samba smbd SMB1/2/3 server running natively
+on Windows under the Microsoft Linux subsystem ! Samba RULES !!!
+</p>
+<p>
+The changes needed lead to some feedback to the Microsoft Linux
+subsystem Team, who are planning to make some changes that will remove
+the need for Samba code changes in the future, thus allowing
+Samba-FUSE(file systems in userspace)-like innovation via the Samba
+VFS (Virtual File System) interface that's built into smbd.
+</p>
+<p>
+We do indeed live in interesting times !
