17OCT	ikastinen/jreveco	WFI Linux installation. TCS Linux test	night operations possible
08JAN	ikastinen	w2p2tcs Linux tests	technical time
15-16FEB	TCS - IKA, WFI - JRE	Installation/commissioning of TCS Linux (with JAN2006). Testing WFI Linux (JAN2006). Time needed: TCS installation 2 hours day time, WFI Installation all day. At night at least half night should be reserved to TCS commissioning. All the templates interacting with TCS should be tested. Second part of the night to test WFI pipeline (B.Conn+S.Castro)	technical time. part of the night might be used for science
25MAR	IKA, ASE, JRE	VLTSW upgrade	Installation of w2p2tcs (Linux + VLT2008) - IKA Installation of wferos (Linux + VLT2008) - ASE Installation of w2p2ins (Linux + JAN2006) - JRE No upgrade to VLT2008 for w2p2ins (WFI) shall be done, as we need to commission the Linux workstation first with JAN2006 VLTSW release. If this is successful we will request technical time for w2p2ins VLT2008 upgrade during next period (P81).
25-27MAR	oschuetz	VLTSW upgrade commissioning	I would recommend that you start with w2p2tcs+w2p2ins commissioning. I expect more problems with w2p2ins as it is never tested on sky with Linux version, and this way you will give valuable feedback to JRE as soon as possible to solve possible problems. / Commissioning involves both VLTSW software and SciOps software. / FIERAs shall stay as it is (JAN2006). / No changes at DHA workstations from our side.
