• Forms replacement (Oracle forms will expire in June 2011) to Web Logic product; both will function for testing after this upgrade with long term eventual switchover, likely in Spring time frame. 
• Facilities: Data Center work will continue and breakthrough of wall will likely happen this week. May be more intense than at first expected. Also in planning is a roof replacement over the first floor of the AISB which will cover the Data Center section as well. Target date to complete is by end of December.
•  LT: Monthly code updates on Sakai will begin again this Saturday (October 16th). Nothing operational, all minor. 5-8am on Saturday is the normal window and will continue until some disruption. 
• CNS: MLX upgrades planned for over Thanksgiving Break; code upgrades mainly. 10Gb/s optics also may be installed during that break also. IPv6 renumbering will also commence now that new addresses have been purchased. Very little impact on users.
• Group Policy change for A.D. likely to take place on October 24th. (Group formerly known as MIG) Should only impact users utilizing relatively old versions of items.
