1. Discussion of how to handle disks during installs.
Decision:
if there are multiple disks, print message about it
do you want custom install?
if yes, will ask about multiple disks
if no, will try to use "default" disk
This is largely based on providing cluster (and other installers) with
the same simple handling for most cases, while providing people who
have special needs with a way to handle them (the "custom
installation" route).
Action Item: wdc, jonathon, mbarker will figure out how many ultras to
get (and get that started)
2. 8.1.12 - some discussion of the upcoming meeting to deal with
installation issues, and the need for a true 8.1 install (versus the
current 8.0 install + upgrade)
3. Panics - wdc to look at dslogger mail and consider whether we need
someone to set up some public systems with public false and savecore
enabled (mark silis - mvsilis - was mentioned as a possible resource)
4. We postponed changing the window manager and backspace/delete
discussions until we could get consulting and training reps. The
proposal is that instead of mwm, we use twm.
Action item: we should try to prepare a comparison/contrast between
mwm and twm (at least at a high level). This kind of trade-off chart
could both help us make an informed decision and start preparing
people for the change.
5. We briefly discussed bugtracking (the process). Basically, the
group felt that this was not a release team issue, and suggested
taking it to another arena.
6. Libal (the login library) will be holding a code review soon.
