Twenty years ago, on October 31, 2000, the OpenAFS project was born by a small group of individuals at CMU (Carnegie Mellon University)--its corpus owing to the generosity of IBM, which cast forth a largely complete version of its AFS 3.6 source tree under the IBM public license.

At Sine Nomine Associates, our team is proud to have actively supported the open source project from the start. It's been a great adventure.

Here's to trusting we will keep this ship smoothly sailing for another twenty!

The VM Workshop Planning Committee would like to thank the nearly 300 attendees that participated in our virtual event. We hope that you found it of value and would ask that you take a short 3 minute survey to help us understand how we did and to help us plan for next year’s event.

Sine Nomine Associates, Inc., a leader in open source development and support, proudly announces their Creative Support Services and NOC Design team’s completion of an Advanced Integrated Operations Center design for a key mining operation facility.

For 20 years, the company has been working diligently as an IBM partner on similar global projects. We have been displaying design skills that enrich IBM’s internal projects and external projects, and improve those of numerous Fortune 1000 companies and several government agencies.

NJE/IP V2 allows files, interactive messages, and print jobs to be transmitted and received from open systems and Windows workstations/servers as if they came from a peer IBM system.

Margarete Ziemer, CEO and co-founder, explains: "Founded in 1999, the company was conceived as a research and development engineering firm which transforms emerging technology into practical business solutions. This goal has been the consistent lead theme for our expert team's work, as well as the company's vision and everyday practice."
