This year at the VM Workshop Kurt Acker became a Knight of VM.
Kurt had the following to say about becoming a Knight:
The Flexible AFS Backup System (FABS) is a suite of tools and daemons
for managing backups for an AFS cell. FABS does not directly backup data
to long-term storage, but acts as a bridge between AFS and an existing
plain-file backup system. This approach allows FABS to integrate AFS
data into existing backup infrastructure regardless of backup software,
and avoids using vendor-specific APIs. FABS is freely available under a
permissive free software license, and commercial support is available
