Um, those are obviously not the complete minutes.

Decide what we want to do about kiosk mode:

- UI issue, no easy way to close it
- Exposing the location bar allows arbitrary URLs but gives a close  
button.
- What happens if people walk away
- rbasch will make it available for internal testing
- by next meeting, we'll decide what we want to do

Summer plans:
- jdreed will mock up cluster maps and deployment shcedules
- milestones will stay the same
