Please fill in actual activity for _Last Month_ (_December_) and intended activity for _This Month_ (_January_) for projects you are responsible for. For reference, the intended activity recorded for _December_ is included where an entry had been made (it is considered unhelpful to alter this to match what actual activity was :). It is acceptable to change devproj milestones as part of this process, however if you do please indicate that you have done so below, for example by adding a _Change of Plan_ bullet point, so that the meeting is alerted to the changes.
 	
   * [[https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/46][Replacement of LPRng with CUPS]]
      * _December_ : Should have been brought to signoff, will do so for next meeting.
      * _Last Month_: Nothing
      * _This Month_: Sign off

   * [[https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/67][Review/Update Submit Practical Submission System]]
      * _December_: Start removing the years from the submit code. I don't think that this will be completed this month so the milestone representing this has been moved to January.
      * _Last Month_: Started removing the years from the submit code, then realised that the question of what maintains the data files and how/when they get updated from the database has to be settled first. Started tracking down exactly where the data files come from.
      * _This Month_: Still hunting for the exact origins of the data files.

   * [[https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/75][Revisit Account Management]]
      * _December_: Significant work required by changes to database.  Continuation of data cleanup work.  Continuation of account lifecycle.  Building up to be in position to start deletions.  Probable meeting to be called in early new year to decide where line should be drawn under current project.
      * _Last Month_: Work started to deal with new database.  Further work on bringing host identities into prometheus
      * _This Month_: Limited sxw effort due to holidays (data cleanup work somewhat stalled on account lifecycle).  Complete host ids work (including issue of child ownership).  Complete new database work.

   * [[https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/106][Final Stages of Commodity WCMS work]]
      * _December_: I'd imagine not too much with the holidays, and it will depend on what the meeting says is required for sign off.
      * _Last Month_: I believe it was agreed during the Chatroom meeting that I didn't have to do any more work on this unless Craig fails to do a test restore following my documentation.
      * _This Month_: Resubmit for sign off if Craig manages to do the restore.

   * [[https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/111][EUCLID Interoperability]]
      * _December_: Completion of Applicant feed. Completion of documentation. Final QA. By the end of this month all the mechanism supporting data that is to be automatically fed and sync'ed from upstream for the PGR/DTC Desktop deployment will have been completed, in place, live and the setup will be finalised (most already is).
      * _Last Month_: Applicant feed(s) completed. Some refinements to all feeds. Generic support library for sync load scripts. Mostly documented. QA complete. All up and running.
      * _This Month_: Nothing (although there have been some minor adjustments to the applicant feed to account for unanticipated behaviour in EUCLID).

   * [[https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/112][School Database Revamp]]
      * _December_: Complete server work needed for PGR Desktop deployment. Implement PGR web reports. Snagging list (remaining few high priority ones, start on some medium priority ones).
      * _Last Month_: Server work completed bar inserts. Workarounds put in place to allow deployment and final QA of PGR desktops.
      * _This Month_: Roll out of the system for IGS. Server inserts. PGR reports (including portal web server and framework). Minor work to facilitate the move of legacy ITO and COS displays from the old interface into the new system. Continue with medium priority snagging items.

   * [[https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/115][Software build farm]]
      * _December_: Finish the build daemon. Write a component to configure the daemons. 
      * _Last Month_: Build daemon now working. Component written which can configure most required config options.
      * _This Month_: Figure out how to handle a few tricky problems with the build daemon such as killing mock when a job has been going too long. Finish the component. Finish the user-level documentation. Setup all the necessary servers and move the whole system into the user-acceptance phase.
