The dates of the program are revised to 3-Nov for initial inputs (it would help if I can get the input 1day earlier). Final deadline is 14-Nov. The list above looks good. The qualifiers easy, moderate, advanced are helpful. A couple of them is not evident, ex: what is it about Nexentizing the ubuntu packages. Is it picking the ubuntu source packages and applying nexenta specific patches to come up with binaries for nexenta ? Any sort of regression test suites for NCP release? Are there other forms of contributions required - website maintenance/administration, art-work, documentation. ~Shiv
