Project status:

Student Matlab: updated license server for R2010a

Keyserving: installer testing... Windows version OK but keyacc32.exe
causing CPU load, problems with Mac version. Wrote up Hermes answers.

General:

• completed Elmer 5.5 update prep. Need to wait for Lucid release
• repackaged Cambridge Structural Database SWRT Linux download
• completed and submitted SIPB award nominations with jdreed
• ongoing efforts to resolve Gaussian license issues - discussed with
  ccummins; updated abdenna, qla
• ongoing weekly license extensions for OPL Studio, AMPL. Working with
  Prof. Modiano to get licensing resolved
• reported OpenAFS 2.6.32 kernel problem to debathena, mit-fedora-users
• wrote PR recommendation for knyzio
• sent thoughts on organizational values to Oliver
• conversations with jdreed, debathena about 64 bit Ubuntu sysnames
• forwarded new 64 bit SAS JMP offer to VSLS
• received Splus annual maintenenace quote from vendor
• got Mathematica training links from vendor- added to WRW

Problems:

OpenAFS stopped working for Athena cell on non-Athena machines- caused
by server switch affecting config file. oremanj helped me resolve issue
