CDWG LUG talk slides
Went through the slides one by one and discussed changes and the appropriate message.

For 2.4, need to drop HSM as advertised supported feature. Show matrix of supported distributions.

2.5 - Play up the fact that we're currently making decisions about what will be in 2.5. Advertise that we are "talking about it on the CDWG call next week!" (week after LUG). Try to get more folks involved.

General theme advise: emphasize how people can get involved, how they can contribute

Decided to add a slide about the 1.8 status. Quell fears about CLIO performance. Emphasize that 2.X is the path forward, but allow that vendors will continue offering their customers support contracts for 1.8 as they see fit.

2.5 will only have interop support with 2.4. No support for 1.8 planned.

Roadmap
HSM removed from 2.4 advertised features (though partly landed now)

DNE2 moves to 2.6

Chris to motivate discussion on the mailing list.

2.4 Update
Some Maloo issues over weekend; have now been fixed.

Talked about RHEL6.4 support. RHEL6.4 kernel bug has delayed addoption. Chris argued for landing support sooner than later.

ORNL - another big test shot scheduled for Apr 12
