Assistant NFS client maintainer.

Our company participates in a variety of
Linux related projects. Although we have a
strong interest in the development of the
NFSv4.1 client, much of our focus is on also
helping to maintain and improve the existing
NFSv2/v3 and NFSv4 client code bases.
As part of the team that drives this work, you
will be expected to help with all facets of the
NFS client maintainer job, including NFS
client development, maintaining and
improving the code quality, responding
promptly to bug or problem reports, and
helping to fix them.

NetApp is also heavily invested in furthering
the development of open internet standards
through the IETF process, and you will have
opportunities to help develop and prototype
a number of these standards.
In the past few years, our group has been
involved with the development of both the
NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols. Currently it is
involved in the prototyping and development
of the Federated Filesystem standard (see
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/nfsv4/draft-ietf-
nfsv4-federated-fs-protocol/).
We are also deeply interested in the ongoing
work of defining and designing some of the
features being proposed for the next minor
version of NFSv4 (see
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-eisler-nfsv4-
minorversion-2-requirements-02.txt)

You will be expected to work closely with the
current NFS client maintainer (Trond
Myklebust) and to act as one of NetApp's
main points of contact towards the Linux and
open source communities.
