It is possible that we'd have a few meetings during Summer, should there be good reasons to hold them. The regular schedule will resume at the beginning of the Fall semester. Have a great Summer!

There will be a reboot of our main file server to fix a problem with the storage array known as BigMomma. During this time, you will also not have access to any of your data on BigPapa, and you will not be able to sign into any of the lops. Any jobs running will be disrupted, so be sure to wait until after the downtime to start your jobs. If there are any problems with this please let me know, and I will try to work something out. I apologize for the short notice, but I wanted to take advantage of our currently low utilization to perform this maintenance. -- Michael J.
