since I don't know of anything in particular that we need to talk about,
unless someone else has topics that require attendance, let's 

a) cancel the meeting (4/20)
b) eat those donuts (IN THE WATCHMAKER'S ZONE!!!  10ish?)
c) if you have concerns that should be raised at a meeting (as opposed
to a non-meeting) let me know.  if you have concerns you think would
be appropriate for a non-meeting, you can tell us tomorrow!

oh-we wondered about schedule?

from the file://localhost/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/m/b/mbarker/www/summer.html

Note: The Release Team recommends that the Summer 1995 Release focus
on stabilizing the existing base across all platforms. As a part of
that, we expect that there will not be any major changes in the
existing base, although bug fixes, consolidation of libraries, and
similar "clean up" efforts will be made.

The major effort will go into developing a stable source tree and
recompiling the complete tree on all platforms.

We expect to start with Release 8.0A on all platforms in the summer.
The major revision number will indicate that this consists of programs
compiled and verified as part of the Athena source tree. It does not
indicate that there are significant new features.

We do expect to include print handling.

Schedule

 1. Code Cut--Early April 
 2. Beta Test--May 23 
 3. Graduation--June 6 
 4. Early Test--June 20 
 5. Release--July 18 
 6. Students on Campus--August 20
