------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Aug 1996 10:16:35 -0700 From: Paul Leach Subject: ANNOUNCE: CIFS Workshop Dear CIFS Developer: Microsoft cordially invites you to attend the first Common Internet File System (CIFS) Implementor's Workshop. CIFS provides a standard, open and cross-platform remote file system protocol for the Internet, enabling groups of users to work together and share documents across the Internet or within their corporate intranets. This two-day event will be held Monday August 26 and Tuesday August 27 1996 on Microsoft's corporate campus in Redmond, Washington. The goals for this event are to: 1) ensure broad interoperability of CIFS implementations on all platforms; and 2) to provide a forum for detailed working sessions on the draft CIFS specification. Discussions will be led by senior developers and program managers from Microsoft and other CIFS vendors. Your participation will help ensure that CIFS technology is open, published and widely available for all computer users. The presentations will be highly technical, and a strong working knowledge of SMB networking is presumed. This event will provide detailed information about CIFS technology for both intranet and Internet applications. In addition Microsoft will provide details on CIFS implementation issues not yet fully documented in the specification. There will be ample time provided for you to provide technical feedback. Because conference space is limited, please send us your confirmation by August 16, 1996. You will not be admitted to the conference without a confirmed registration. To confirm your attendance, please fax your completed registration form to the attention of Lori Koidahl, Building 12 South, 206-936-8762, or confirm via email to a-lorik@microsoft.com. Confirmation packets outlining suggested accommodations, design specification, final agenda, and details on the Redmond, Washington event location will be sent out after we receive your RSVP. We look forward to your participation in the first CIFS Implementor's Workshop.
