Task Title: Searching text files with perl and awk	Task Initiation: 2004.03.12	Orig. Due Date: 2004.03.22	Status: awk portion of project cancelled, perl portion complete
Who (%): All team members

Task Title: Patch BSD machines	Task Initiation: 2004.02.20	Orig. Due Date: 2004.02.28 (delayed)	Status: In Progress
Who (%): Everyone
Description: Patch kernel, compile kernel, and build distro for each individual on their machine.
Progress: Over the past week kernel patching has become a reduced priority in favor of coding. Nonetheless, we expect to complete it soon.

Task Title: Sample config file	Task Initiation: 2004.03.22	Orig. Due Date: 2004.04.07 (will likely be completed much sooner)	Status: In progress
Who (%): All team members, emphasis on Erik and Ben
Description: Configuration file for parsing in installation script. Final decisions on formatting.

Task Title: Early Tepatche work	Task Initiation: 2004.03.22	Orig. Due Date: 2004.03.31	Status: In progress
Who (%): All team members, emphasis on Nauman and Thad
Description: Begin to read and understand Tepatche code, particularly source patching and how to adapt to binary patching. Split into modules. Note that Tepatche currently stalls on patching X code if X is not installed; this needs to be fixed.

Upcoming Tasks: Planning

Task Title: Design Review Presentation	Who (%): All team members	Due Date: 2004.04.07
Description: Presentation for class of requirements, status, and plans for completion

Task Title: Functional Testing Plan	Who (%): All team members	Due Date: 2004.04.07
Description: Outline for testing phase of project

Task Title: Logo selection	Who (%): Thad, Ben	Rough Due Date: 2004.04.07
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: Design has been pushed back in favor of other priorities.

Task Title: T-shirt design	Who (%): Thad	Rough Due Date: 2004.04.23
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:

Slight slippage on some assignments. Disappointing, but we have allowed a safe time cushion for such unexpected delays and they should not threaten the project.

Notebook current.

Website in good shape.

Other Problems / Other Issues:

Work for other classes seems to be affecting some teammates' ability to complete assignments as soon as originally planned. Coursework is expected to ease up by next week.
