[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] We're live at last!

[Rogan Hamby]

Congrats Deanna!  I remember seeing you sign off a certain other ILS 
mailing list some time ago and for some reason assumed you were already 
live on Evergreen.  I'm glad it went smoothly for you.  We worked with 
Alpha-G and Equinox with our migration and have to say the biggest stress 
on go live day was waiting for the crisis that didn't actually happen.
