    Pan Compiler--Status and New Features 30m
    
    This presentation will summarize the current status of the production release of the compiler. It will also present the new features available in the development release of the compiler. Possible uses for the new compiler features, like automated creation of documentation, reformatting of pan source files, generating outlines of source files, will be explored. The presentation will end with a discussion of the roadmap for new features and releases.

    StratusLab and Quattor 20m
    
    The StratusLab project will focus on creating an open source cloud distribution that allows grid resource centers to create "private clouds" and then deploy grid services on that cloud. This should simplify site administration and potentially offer new mechanisms for sharing resources. A strong link with the Quattor community is desired for 1) ensuring that the cloud distribution can be easily installed via automated tools like Quattor and 2) using Quattor to prepare prepackaged "appliances" used to deploy grid services. This presentation gives details on possible points of collaboration.

    SourceForge and Build Tools Discussion 45m
    
    The Quattor community needs to converge on the SF tools that we'll use to collaborate and to work towards a sustainable set of build tools. Much of this was going to be done in QUEST, but with its failure, we need to find the effort within the community to move forward on this. I'll give a summary of the current situation to start off the discussion.
