Present: Bryan, Skylar, Charlie

Size of image:

• Consider using a package like solution for the large chunks in /cluster/software using SVN checkout wrapper.
• Assume that we'll have a network connection. If not then export SVN directory to a local machine and then re-point the script.
• First pass at things to move out of /cluster/software:
  • Gromacs
  • JRE
  • R
  • PSC_DX

Testing:

• Bryan's been working with runinram and liberating the latest ISO. X issue with running on GalaxSee on more than one node and possibly just on one node too. Bryan will figure-out exact circumstances of the failure.
• Need to confirm that liberate.pl now handles drives that have been liberated to previously.
• Alex, you testing?

Curriculum modules:

• /bccd/curriculum is where they go, now consider how to distribute. WebDAV and hopper, assumes network connection but this might be reasonable. They can see everything but only get what they need. Let's talk to Paul about this before we decide.

Documentation:

• Looking good. Tom, any thoughts on the curriculum stuff?

Other:

• Use the mailing list bccd-developers@bccd.net, zorch all the others.
• Change /cluster to /bccd - avoid confusion, if all use modules then switch will be transparent.
