Layer Team Meeting Minutes of 3 Feb 94

daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (brlewis@MIT.EDU)
Thu Feb 3 11:56:48 1994

From: brlewis@MIT.EDU
Date: Thu, 3 Feb 94 11:56:07 -0500
To: layered-athena@MIT.EDU

Present: brlewis, carla, jjmorey, kcunning, nschmidt


			      SUPPORT PLAN

Carla distributed the current draft of the support plan, which she will
mail to layered-athena shortly.

brlewis: the plan looks good.

kcunning: students might purchase workstations, so RCC's would need to know
how to help them.

carla: some students might want to go with layered Athena rather than
full Athena to avoid the service fee.

nschmidt: avoiding the service fee means not getting access to third-party
software.


			     DOCUMENTATION

kcunning: I haven't gotten any feedback on this document.

brlewis: I think one tester has received the document.  I will give it
to the new tester and explicitly ask for feedback.


			  THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE

nschmidt: here is my Proposed Layered Athena Software Policy.  ACMG
looked at and liked it.  It depends on a wrapper cfields wrote and is
testing.  I will mail the proposal to layered-athena.


			      BETA TESTERS

brlewis: we need more beta testers

carla: we can do testing once you set us up, although we won't know how
it's different from Ultrix without Athena.

brlewis: that will help


			       NEXT STEPS

Consensus was that it's still a little early for a timeline re.
publicizing Ultrix Layered Athena, but we definitely want to be in
production for a while before moving on to other platforms.

brlewis will call another meeting when we have an agenda, probably 3-5
weeks from now.
