Agenda will be:

Metrics to measure relevant Athena 10 usage.
Action:
1. Prep for Athena 10 Early system installs scheduled for Wednesday 4
March.
Punchlist:
ATN-25 Zephyrgrams cause the previously active window to be raised
above the screensaver:
Agreed plan is to set metacity as default window manager
ATN-46 lpq and lprm are broken: Not a Blocker.
Publicity review. DONE.
Candidate systems labeled as getting new release. DONE.
Complete draft of debathena.mit.edu/beta web site.
Review of debathena.mit.edu/beta web site. wdc reviewed nearly all
of it.
What issues of the athena10/debathena merge must be complete before
installs?
Is there anything else we should do for debathena-thirdparty
metapackage.
Action items prerequisite for Wednesday Deploy:
debathena.mit.edu repository will be used for Early.
debathena-thirdparty isn't quite working. We're going ahead anyway.
amb pushes changes from the weekend's hackathon to where PXE server
sees them.
rbasch makes gconf changes to set metacity as default window manager
(ATN-25)
jdreed finishes "Getting Started" section of debathena/beta web site.

Follow-up action items after Wednesday Deploy:
jdreed re-points content on athena10.mit.edu web site to
debathena.mit.edu/beta
amb updates athena10.mit.edu repo to push out migration to
debathena.mit.edu repo.
jdreed and alexp will review debathena-thirdparty and prune
superfluous stuff.
wdc and jdreed shepherd final debug of debathena-thirdparty
tabbott changes counterlog to more broadly report debathena installs
to wslogger.
2. Review situation and status of debathena/athena10 merge
guidelines for source access are being drafted.
When athena10 repo gets migration update, then "athena10" can become
a cname for "debathena"
Use HTTP access logs to athena10 repo find people to ask to move.
All interesting divergences between the two repos are done.
Follow-on work: debathena.mit.edu migrates into OC11 VMware farm
3. Monthly Status Report.
Mailed out under separate cover.
4. Review the top-10 lists.
5. Other/ If time permits:
Check-in on dialup situation: DONE.
PO15 Testing:
po15.mit.edu looks like the old world.
po15.mail.mit.edu looks like the new world.
geofft says pine works fine with K5.
broder says thunderbird and Apple mail works fine with K5.
Release Team recommends that other POs be made to look like PO15.
