Hi Samba Developers,

Presentations are only part of what is going on at the 2022 SDC EMEA Storage \
Developer Conference<https://www.snia.org/events/sdcemea> virtual event, June14th, \
moved from its original date in April. The SNIA SMB3 Interoperability (IO) Lab is \
also an integral part of the program. The 2022 SNIA SDC EMEA SMB3 IO \
Lab<https://www.snia.org/events/sdc-emea/smb3-interoperability-lab> will be held \
online using a virtual private network, creating a collaborative framework for \
testing.  The lab will take place June 14th-16th,with an additional week of extended \
access time to the virtual testing framework through June 22nd. The online lab \
environment will be available 24 hours each day, making it easy for everyone to \
access.

The purpose of this 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. There are several new \
features that have recently been added to the SMB3 protocol:

  *   SMB3 now can communicate over QUIC, a new internet standard transport which is \
                being broadly adopted for web and other application access.
  *   Support for AES-GMAC authentication
  *   Support for share compression
  *   Support for encryption over RDMA
  *   Roadmap for security-related SMB changes for Windows

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 \
have the opportunity to 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 SMB3 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 2022 SNIA SDC EMEA SMB3 IO Lab underwriter.

                Lab this year!
