As per my grant conditions, here is a report for the June period.
Bit of a sparse month. Fixed or otherwise closed a few security-related tickets and a few other misc bits and pieces, but spent quite a bit of time on perl-related but not TPF-grant-related stuff: reducing random smoke test failures and refactoring the numeric ops.
Over the last month I have averaged 4 hours per week.
As of 2011/06/30: since the beginning of the grant:
68.6 weeks
772.8 total hours
11.3 average hours per week
There are 127 hours left on the grant.
