Again there may be a few sweets and drinks thrown in too. So come along :D === Admins: Reinstalling Carbon === In order to facilitate Carbon's use by members as a development box it will be reinstalled with Ubuntu Lucid on Monday, this will enable us to provide members with more up to date software while still using the Ubuntu packaging repos. Going forward we hope to keep carbon up to date inline with ubuntu's 6 month release cycle. This work will cause several hours of downtime on Monday. That's all for now. Hope everyone isn's too stressed out with projects and exams coming up.
