If you'd like to present or listen, please let me know whether after 4pm would work for you. Once we settle on a time, we can ask Kristen to book a room for us. For people who won't be able to make it tomorrow, there might also be time for a small practice session on Monday at NIPS. Send me email and we can organize something.

All services that we were planning to have running, are functioning normally. - BigPapa access is restored - CVS is available - LOR1 and LOR2 are the only lop machines available until further notice. No LOP, LOQ, or LOS machines will be available. - Mailing lists are available to the world. - Autonlab, Auton Intranet, and ICML websites are available to the world. Notes: If you are using an ssh tunnel to lop1 to access CVS, change the machine to LOR1. You might have to restart your machine to get it to sync up with everything. If you can login and access your BigPapa home directory, you won't have to reboot. When the machine room comes back online, we will have planned outage to move the equipment back. This will take place outside of normal working hours. When a date and time are decided upon, I will let you all know. -- Michael J.
