 Samba is a big, complex project. The Samba project is ambitious and exciting. The team
behind Samba is a group of some thirty individuals who are spread the world over and
come from an interesting range of backgrounds. This team includes scientists, engineers,
programmers, business people, and students.
Team members were drawn into active participation through the desire to help deliver
an exciting level of transparent interoperability between Microsoft Windows and the non-
Microsoft information technology world.
The slogan that unites the efforts behind the Samba project says: Samba, Opening Windows
to a Wider World! The goal behind the project is one of removing barriers to interoperability.
Samba provides file and print services for Microsoft Windows clients. These services may be
hosted off any TCP/IP-enabled platform. The original deployment platforms were UNIX
and Linux, though today it is in common use across a broad variety of systems.
