Reminder:  Release Team will be this Wednesday 1/7/09 at 3:30 in W92-199

Agenda:

1. Monthly Status Report
2. Review Athena 10 status and gap to go-live.
	Welcome debathena delegates.
	Open issues in Jira: Session names, greeter cosmetics, dotfile skip_  
directives,
		attach/detach semantics, UI for OS update, sudo in Clusters,
		local account cleanup.
	New session issue(s): Initial xterm
	Comprehensive installer
	Firefox defaults.
	Jira issues
	Prep for TAP
3. Check in on IAP Patch Release
4. Update on Solaris Sunset effort.
5. Other

 From last meeting:

Review Athena 10 status and gap to go-live.

	Two items in technical plan remain to be done:  bugme and  
comprehensive installer.
		amb is focused on the installer.
	Seven issues are open in Jira: Session names, greeter cosmetics,  
dotfile skip_ directives,
			attach/detach semantics, UI for OS update, sudo in Clusters, local  
account cleanup.
		wdc will follow up to Athena 10 list for bugme and the session  
aspects.
	Need to decide about cut-over to Intrepid.
		We think we can do Intrepid for the IAP roll-out.  (This will let us
		investigate doing OS updates before wide deployment of Athena 10.)

Target Athena 10 dates:
	Comprehensive installer ready for use by ridgway and wdc by Tue Jan 6.
	Go-live in Early Cluster two weeks (plus holiday) later Wed Jan 21.
	There WILL be ample opportunity for improvements based on input from  
TAP after that.

IAP Patch Release Target dates:
	December 30 to dev cell.
	January 13 go-live to clusters.
