[OLPC_Boston] [Olpc] Re: Update on CFS Server

[Mel Chua]

I'm adding the olpc_boston list to this conversation (we need to get in 
the habit of having deployment-related conversations on that list). Next 
time I reply to this thread I'll delete all the ccs except for the list, 
since I'm guessing we're probably all on it.

olpc_boston folks - we're trying to plan the big "go to CFS in the 
evening and try out the entire deployment tech infrastructure, live" 
date. Would anybody like to come and help?
