The RC0 has not happened last week. I guess we are a little late for a 
test day. Also, I will be struggling organizing a Test Day due to 
holidays and a planned trip to China. Unless Russ can pick it up, and we 
do have a schedule for test days after RC0, which we can stick to. Also, 
we need volunteers to prepare decent test instructions.
