• Will ship to SLAC around Feb 24
• Johann due at SLAC on Jan 23^rd
• Two interface boards to be kept in Pisa until Feb 10th then send them to SLAC
• Dave: lack of transition boards leaves him without a running system. Misunderstanding between Luca and Dave

• ACD
• Connie got RunControl working

• CAL (Byron)
