The following appeared in a note to the 'delivery' list. It's really
most relevant to the Athena Release team members who do development
tasks.
Bob was relying on me to check in with Tom Thornton, and then invite
appropriate folks. I've been badly backlogged and am only getting to
this now. Tom said, "The more the merrier."
Here's the invite:

What does it mean?
Well, I'm not exactly sure myself. As you know, in the Academic
Computing Offsite, there was talk of organizing a more unified
development team than the current islands of Athena, Pismere, etc. I've
discussed some stuff with Tom and Bob. This meeting is not so much an
announcement of a reorganization, as a brain storming session on the
best way to approach reorganization.
Y'all are welcome to come and help suggest how to sort things out.
