1) Cake
Cake was eaten and was delicious. Thank you to Liz.
2) Staffing issues
Jon will follow up with Rich about staffing issues after Andrew's departure. Bob would be the ideal choice, but currently has no free time and does not foresee any in the future. Marilyn was interested in hearing more about Debathena, and Andrew will follow up with Jon and Oliver.
3) Installer testing
We should rename the installer (in svn) to install-debathena-beta.sh, and have the step of moving the beta installer to the production one be an explicit step. Andrew will also add a PXE option to use said beta installer when installing cluster. This will allow us to easily test changes.
4) Natty
Andrew will add a PXE install for Natty.
5) OpenAFS/DKMS
There was debate about how to transition existing workstations, and we decided at this point we can just worry about new installs, and the majority of workstations will fix themselves when they reinstall. We can then transition remaining Lucid and Maverick machines to DKMS later.
Geoff and Liz will have something for us by next release-team or sooner.
6) Natty development
Geoff and Liz will ensure that all Natty-releated commits are in place, and then will rebuild natty (serially, since parallel builds fail until we put a shared lock in place).
7) -development
gdm-config will go to proposed on Monday. auto-update can probably go once Andrew updates breakout to 1.23.2 and it's been stable for a bit.
Other stuff still needs testing.
8) libstdc++.so.5 (#863)
jdreed will copy the dialup configs to enable backports for this package only, and add it to c-l-c
9) Other business
Andrew will be missed and we wish him the best.
