[gpfsug-discuss] TO BE RESCHEDULED [was] - Re: Request for Enhancements (RFE) Forum - Submission Deadline October 1

Tue Oct 9 22:39:23 BST 2018

Due to scheduling conflicts we need to reschedule the RFE meeting that was to happen tomorrow, October 10th. 

We received RFEs from 2 sites (NASA and Sloan Kettering), if you sent one and it was somehow missed. Please respond here, and we’ll pick up privately as follow up.

More soon.

Best,
Kristy
