Hi John,
I know that this is a point made several times already (especially on this
list) however just to re-iterate one more time. To a site with limited,
scheduled, labour having the release come out a week late can be a major
problem, QMUL being an extreme case this time around. So we do need to do
everything we can to "encourage" timely releases.
On a related note has anybody else noted how congested the first week of
July is:
o New Release
o SC3 starts
o GridPP Meeting
(I am sure thatthere are more things that I have forgotten)
This the week after a GGF...
All the best,
david
