Thanks for the emails thus far.
One subject that was asked to bring up, was to not talk about Ubuntu creep but 
instead

What are labs doing about hardware that is so new that even the latest 
Scientific Linux doesn't support it?

Maybe that would be a good talk in a future Hepix, but for right now, just have 
it as one of the discussion topics in the Plenary Discussion.
