Hey Releng,

Your friendly infra liason here.  Just wanted to remind y'all that today
is the 15th (16th if over in EU/Asia), and that all livecd's and stages
must be uploaded to your devspace by the 18th (which is this coming
Sunday). I spoke to zhen and he confirmed that md5sum's must also
accompany all files uploaded so we can check those as well before we
stage the mirrors. Once again, the work you guys do far exceeds anything
I could ever dream of doing. I'm just the lowly mirror monkey. If you
have any releng questions, bug zhen with a hot cattle prod. Anything
infra related, ping me nicely with a cotton ball.

All the best,
Jeffrey

May I note that I have not received any input from any architecture
developer regarding the:
  - available kernels
  - available bootoptions
  - content of the CDs

Without this information, I really cannot do anything documentation-wise and
you'll all be stuck with 2004.0 information instead of 2004.1. I'd really
hate to see a good 2004.1 release be brought down due to communication
issues (again).

Note that I cannot fix documentation in 1 hour before the deadline. I do
need some time to write and verify the documentation and in the condition
I'm currently in this can take a while :p

Wkr,
      Sven Vermeulen
