[Macpartners] Fall 2004 Software CD release effort underway

[Mark Van Dyke]

Good morning,

The CD Release Team has begun planning for the production of the fifth 
version of the "Fall Getting Started CD" for Macintosh and Windows.  
Past releases of the CD have been identified by the label design; the 
most recent design was black with silver text.

The CD was originally produced to handle the bottleneck of new students 
who arrive at the start of the fall term needing the core software 
applications installed on their computers.  This has been especially 
helpful to those with slow internet connections and has since proven to 
be a valuable tool for many others.

We are currently reviewing the contents.  Attached is a list of 
applications that we plan to include on this year's release.  One major 
change is the addition of a suite of linux software.

Our goal is to have the CD ready for duplication by August 1 and for 
distribution in time for back to school.  For more information on the 
CD and the release effort, see the CD Release Notebook at 
http://web.mit.edu/swrt/releases/mitcd/.  If you have questions, 
suggestions, or would like to participate in the release of this CD, 
please contact the team via email at cd-release at mit.edu.

Thanks for your input!
