• Technical services report
  • Almost done with moving everything from -001 to -003. RT work is delayed a bit, should be done next week. -002 & -004 are just sitting there. Once -003 cutover it done, then start work on -002 and -004. Pretty much everything has been moved from -001 to -003, but for RT. Matt Harlow has been a big help in this.

• Conference/events activities report
  • In a nice lull. PICC '12 is all set for May 11th and 12th. Looking to hire a marketing person. One hold with Cascadia contract. March 23rd - 24th. Skipping OLF this year. Next conference that we will be a large presence at will be SCALE in February. Still trying to get payment from OLF for last year.
