Discussed:
On May 10th, 1989, Eric Hougerhous met with Brian Harvey and the OCF to discuss the state of the Apollos. Adam Glass and Robert Cullman represented the OCF. CF&C's persons didn't show.
Eric asked us if CF&C had completed the wiring of 'ocf corner'. As of that morning, they had completed this task.
Eric stated that he needed to get his 'tech person' in to patch in their connectors, he hoped to have this done in a day or two.
The machines are currently at CF&C's machine staging area. Apollo intends to unpack the machines there, build them, run some diagnostics, pack 'em up and ship them over to the web. No objection was raised to persons from the OCF observing this process, though Eric preferred that we keep the number small. He also described the process as terribly boring.
Once the machines are at the web, and wired up, a master server distributes the software to the other clients....sounds interesting.
Apollo made lots of comments about wanting to do 'intro to apollo' classes. We got the impression that they would come back as often as necessary. Additionally, they want to have Ken Arnold (of 'curses' fame) give a talk on the apollo philosophy in late june.
Eric said that X11r3 wouldn't arrive until the second week of June. 16 Mb upgrades will accompany it.
Apollo/HP implied that they wanted to do a big production/Public Relations event for the 'opening' of the OCF, possibly w/ HP brass.
When asked what the effect of the HP takeover of Apollo would have, Eric predictably assured us that it could only improve our relationship.....
Before the Apollo meeting, Brian Harvey once again brought up the issue of using the Apollos for temporary summer storage for Webbies. We managed to convince him that the OCF was really the wrong place for such stuff, particularly this summer.
The board appeared to approve of our actions.
A letter from Nori raised some eyebrows. He said he had noticed that our cluster configuration didn't include printers, and surely we didn't plan to print to the web printers. Brian Harvey responded quickly w/ 'Hardyck said we could'
The meeting adjoured at 6:38pm because we ran out of things to talk about. The CSUA meeting occurred soon afterwards.
