Oct 01 19:35:02 BobJensen    autopsy: that should work out well
Oct 01 19:36:15 BobJensen    remeber it has beenin our stated goals originally to be running the "current" Fedora Core with in 30 days of the release this may result in some minor downtime and content freezes in the coming months
Oct 01 19:37:04 BobJensen    be sure to check in here to make sure in that time frame we are not doing setup on unity01 wher ethe content should be frozen
Oct 01 19:37:21 BobJensen    that is about all I have
Oct 01 19:38:09 Sonar_Gal    I have nothing to add
Oct 01 19:38:29 autopsy    I'm done, looking forward to tomorrow.
