Hi!

On behalf of SNIA, I'm pleased to share the following invitation to the 
SNIA SMB3 IO Lab EMEA taking place alongside SambaXP.

Samba XP is being held April 7-8 in Goettingen, Germany. The SNIA SMB3 
IO Lab EMEA is being held April 8-10 following Samba XP!

The purpose of the IO Lab is for vendors to bring their implementations 
of SMB3 to test, identify, and fix bugs in a collaborative setting with 
the goal of providing a forum in which companies can develop 
interoperable products. SNIA provides and supports networks and 
infrastructure for the IO Lab, creating a collaborative framework for 
testing.  The participants of the IO Lab work together to define the 
testing process, assuring that objectives are accomplished. There are 
several new features that have recently been added to the SMB3 protocol:

     SMB auditing improvements
     SMB NTLM disable option
     SMB over QUIC all server editions
     SMB over QUIC client access control
     SMB signing required
     SMB auth rate limiter
     SMB alternative ports
     SMB Mailslots disabled
     SMB guest auth off in Pro
     SMB global encrypt from client
     SMB server dialect control

The IO Lab is an opportunity to learn about these new features and test 
your implementation with Microsoft Windows protocol test suites.  During 
the IO Lab you can directly engage with Windows Protocol Support, Test 
Suite Development, and members of the Windows development team as well 
as network with other professionals from all over the world.

If you are reluctant to participate because you feel that your SMB 
implementation is "not ready", you should still participate! The SMB3 IO 
Lab is also a development opportunity, not just a testing opportunity. 
Implementations still in development are encouraged to participate. It's 
a great opportunity to get help and learn from the experts!

This year we are pleased to announce the full participation and 
continued support of Microsoft, our SNIA SMB3 IO Lab EMEA underwriter.

Registration is 300 Euro per participant, which covers your meals 
(Breakfast and Lunch) for the event. For complete details or to 
register, please visit  https://www.snia.org/smb3iolabemea

See you there!
