+
+== Description of work performed during last quarter ==
+
+We completed 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 addressed usability 
+problems.   We have implemented a solution to the problem of
+disclosing a security vulnerability when retrieving an update.
+
+== Project participants ==
+
+Justin Cappos (PI)
+Geremy Condra (Programmer)
+Monzur Muhammad (Programmer)
+
+
+== Publications (individual and organizational) ==
+
+None this quarter
+
+
+== Outreach activities ==
+
+We gave presentations at several undergraduate research nights on TUF.
+ We presented a demo on TUF at GEC13.   Students in an introductory
+security class at NYU Poly experimented with TUF and upPIR.
+
+== 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
+into production.   Our understanding is that TUF is used in production on
+PrimoGENI.
+
+We have explored collaboration with the rack solutions provided by
+Rick McGeer and Ilia Baldine.   As was requested by the GPO, we will
+make this a point of emphasis in the next 4 months.
+
+
+== Other Contributions ==
+
+Justin gave talks that described TUF (and other topics) at multiple
+venues.
