VDT Development Iteration 02 Tasks

Schedule

Monday, 9 October 2006 through Friday, 3 November 2006.

Ergs to allocate

For this iteration, we have the following known outages:

Alain	1 day
Andy	6 days
Tim

Thus, we will work 53 out of a possible 60 person-days, which means we're at 88% capacity. From last iteration, our full-capacity target is 59 ergs. Thus, we can hope to finish about 51 ergs this iteration.

Tasks

We completed 65 ergs.
