October 6th, 2025, in Orlando Florida is going to be a big day for our team as we present our work on a new project named Zelma for z/VM and Linux Modern Administration

We are very thankful for the efforts of David Bostch (at Cornell) as he was the OpenAFS organization administrator who helped on that part of the effort.

We are thankful so many people contributed their proposals for improving the OpenAFS experience. We are pleased to congratulate the owners of the two winning proposals.

Sine Nomine Associates are thrilled to announce that the OpenAFS project has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025! This is a fantastic opportunity for us to engage with talented students.

OpenAFS 1.8.13/1.6.25 are the next releases in the current and old stable series of releases for Unix/Linux systems.

OpenAFS 1.8.12.2 is a regular point release of OpenAFS for recent Linux kernel support. Upgrading to 1.8.12.2 is only needed on clients with leading edge Linux kernel versions. (and users of openSUSE 15.6 which pulled in some upstream kernel bits)".
