A2. The AFS 3.6 code base will be “forked” to form “Open AFS” and “IBM AFS”. “Open AFS” will be open-sourced under the IBM Public License (IPL). We will form an advisory board (~ 6-8 members) to interface with the community and accept/reject changes to the official version of “Open AFS”. This board will be comprised of 1 IBM technical person, 1 IBM business person, and ~ 6 members of the AFS community. We have a core group (currently 5 members) for the Advisory Board, and they will meet to finalize the process for accepting new members, code contributions, etc.
