+== Description of work performed during last quarter ==
+
+We continued integration of TUF with distutils.   We have integrated
+with Seattle's updater and PrimoGENI.   We have a proof-of-concept
+integration with PlanetLab's boot CD.   We have uncovered and begun
+addressing usability problems.   We also have insight into the issue
+of disclosing a security vulnerability when retrieving an update.

+
+== Collaborations ==

+
+
+We integrated with distutils.   We have integrated into the Seattle
+software updater and will be added in the next production release.
+
+We have integrated with PlanetLab's boot CD update mechanism and
+PrimoGENI.   We have more work to do to get PlanetLab's integration

+PrimoGENI.
