Upcoming Tasks: Planning

Task Title: Tool study	Who (%): All team members; emphasis on Erik and Ben	Rough Due Date: Next week
Description: We are looking for more specific tools – shell scripting, Perl, Ncurses, ISO & FS extraction / creation, and others – for how best to design our tools.
Progress: Ncurses is probably out as GUI has been dropped to bottom priority. Progress has been made in ISO and FS extraction and creation. At this point it looks as if we'll stick to the original shell scripting for installation and Perl for patching.

Task Title: Logo selection	Who (%): Thad, Ben	Rough Due Date: By this weekend if time permits
Description: We should have a project logo, presumably a fugu. Adapting from other OpenBSD logos is a start, but we'd like to find an artist to draw an original logo all our own.
Progress: Ben and Thad have been speaking with Jon Gardener, a graphic design student, who is eager to help with a design. They intended to finish by last weekend but time did not permit.

Task Title: T-shirt design	Who (%): Thad	Rough Due Date: Next two weeks
Description: Tangential to project, but once logo is selected, FUGU T-shirt (parody of “FUBU” line) should be easy to generate. Intend to use 99dogs.com.

Timeline check:

Meeting all relevant deadlines since they've been pushed back. Running a bit behind on less important projects like logo and T-shirt design.

Notebook current.

Website in good shape.

Other Problems / Other Issues:

Deadlines are tight and we are doing more work and meeting more often than previously, but no major issues at this point. Project going well.
