OSTEP Team Meeting 2013-06-03

Equipment Reorganization

Phase I:

• Move rack to 1040
• Move hutches to 1039
• Move stuff between rooms
  • All general CDOT stuff --> 1039 (formerly "Armory")
  • All OSTEP stuff --> 1040 (formerly "Lab")
• Catalog and sort the ARM stuff

Future phases:

• Swap Japan and Hong Kong
• Make Japan the NAT for the builders
• Remove weaker builders - SMARTTOPS MUST DIE!!! - (NFS based ones)
• Insert all of the builders we're using e.g., Yosemite-class systems, Arndale
