We are specifically interested in single-system scalability, performance, and reliability of network server infrastructure products running on Linux, such as LDAP directory servers, IMAP electronic mail servers, and web servers, among others. We're continuing to work with vendors such as Sun and IBM on their Linux scalability issues. We've provided several significant modifications to the Linux kernel. We attended the 2000 Usenix technical conference, and presented three papers. We're continuing to reach out to potential sponsors.
Work continues on long-term projects.
Milestones Stephen Molloy is spending his summer in Austin, Texas, interning at the Austin IBM lab. Randy Appleton of Northern Michigan University was unable to join us this summer. The NFSv4 project will complete at the end of August. A complete snapshot release of the Linux NFSv4 implementation will be made available at this time. Meanwhile, the project is preparing to participate in the July 12 bake-off.
