Greg took notes instead of Bill this time, so they appear here:

New goals for next month:
Public Athena release
9.1.12 patch release, containing at least:
* Fix for sshd destroying krb4 tickets
* Remove or patch Solaris apache package
* Various other small bug fixes
2. Local lockers
We will go ahead with Greg's locker mirroring plan. [No set
deployment date; depends on how long it takes to do the work. No set
resource assignments yet; students may do some of the work.]
In the future we might think about how to distribute non-release
software using a software installation model, but right now it's
difficult to conceive of abandoning the locker model (which lets
people run software on cluster machines and on machines with limited
disk space).
