I am also unable to attend today.  I am traveling on business and have
appointments mid-day.  (Have I mentioned this time-slot isn't the
greatest for those of us who don't work at RH or live in Europe?)

Also, I have query to dgilmore about the mirroring and links for
epel-release?  Can I use mirrorlist now and have the epel-release
package work with 5Client, 5Server, 4[AS|ES|WS] ?

I haven't made any headway on the communication plan this week.
