Layer Team Meeting Minutes of 22 Sep 94

daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (kcunning@MIT.EDU)
Thu Sep 22 15:03:45 1994

From: kcunning@MIT.EDU
To: layered-athena@MIT.EDU
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 1994 15:00:02 EDT


Present: brlewis, kcunning, jjmorey

Next meeting:  Thursday, Oct 6, 10:00am in E40-316  [two weeks from today]


We discussed what documentation would be needed to support the HP Beta Test,
and covered the following topics:

  * numbers:  We thought that, as we might have perhaps 10 sites for Beta, we
	      will need only 15 or 20 copies of whatever we produce.  This can
	      be done in house.

  * schedule: The Beta Test is planned to begin Tuesday, October 11, so we
              should have final drafts of material ready the week before
	      (i.e., by Oct 7 at the latest -- in fact, final drafts
	      presumably available at the Oct 6 meeting).
	      
  * pieces:   We decided we should make available:

		* an HP-oriented version of the existing USER GUIDE, including
			* current material, revised to reflect HP info
			* a high-profile statement that clarifies/sets
			  appropriate support expectations
			  [this info will also need to be made available
			  electronically (e.g., via the xlayer HELP option;
			  in email to prospective Beta testers, etc.]
			* an indication of which subsets will NOT be available
			  for the HP Beta test
		    [draft to brlewis for technical review by Friday, 23 Sep]
		    [copies of final draft to jjmorey etc. for support]

		* a poster that, at the HP owner's discretion, could be put
		  up near the machine, to alert users to facts of interest,
		  including:
			* the fact that this machine is a test machine for
			  layered athena
			* the status of I.S. support (e.g., "contact brlewis
			  rather than Consulting or Hardware Hotline if
			  you have Athena-related questions")
			* whatever else the site system manager feels is
			  appropriate for the site

That was it. See you in 2 weeks!
