[43] in Layered Athena
Team Meeting Minutes of 15 Sept 93
daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (Mark Rosenstein)
Wed Sep 15 15:07:11 1993
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 93 15:06:34 EDT
From: Mark Rosenstein <mar@MIT.EDU>
To: layered-athena@MIT.EDU
Present: Carla, Young, Ted, JJ, Mark
Status: the software is just about ready. There is one serious bug
(reactivate sometimes fails) and one feature missing (turning off
email notification about a particular release), but both of these are
expected to be ready.
I don't know the current status of the documentation. I've been
unable to contact Kevin in the last couple of days. We may have to
hold things up a bit if the docs are not ready.
Something else that must be done before test is to be prepared to help
people install Ultrix on machines, since those testers internal to
DCNS/CSS already have the Athena release on their machines and will
have to start over.
We've gotten a few responses to the call for testers, and more are
expected. I hope to have about ten beta testers.
I have started talking to Bruce about the HP/UX mini-port, which he
wants to be able to deliver via Layered Athena. He may move forward
on that soon, though we'll make sure that it doesn't get ahead of the
beta test.
I'm talking to the consultants this afternoon, I'll make sure that
they're aware of the test and that some questions will be coming
through OLC (the "private workstation" topic). JJ will talk to the
network help desk staff to make sure that they're aware of what's
going on.
Everything seems well in hand for testing next week. We won't
schedule the next meeting yet, until we see how testing goes. I'll
keep the group informed through the layered-athena mailing list.
