- Vijay reporting on ARM
- From LIM
- CMake-based build of the externals ready for the supported platforms
- Now that the full set of externals can be build in few hours, SFT is planning a different deployment model for LCG stack: one directory with everything (bin, lib, etc.) per version of LCG(CMT) LBCORE-117
- LCGCMT 65 almost ready: gcc 4.7 (c++11), VDT, etc.
- Geant 4 new release with the multi-threading version available for testing

- New Nightly Builds
- migrated the LHCb-hosted git repository to the central CERN git service (renamed LHCbNightlies2 to LbNightlyTools)
