Ian,
As
mentioned in my last email, Arcadia will be using the new Spyrus readers for the
upcoming April election. Does it require the latest and greatest ballot
station software? If it does, we need to upgrade. If it
doesn't, we can keep the 3.13.5.1 software. I don't mean to stir up
confusion but I have to be sure.
Dimtry, Frank:
Didn't
you mentioned something about this?
I
believe that the 3.13.5 that is on the FTP site is 3.13.5.1. But you
will have to download it to make sure.
I
need some clarification. There is no 3-13-5-1 ballot station software
listed at the ftp site. I hope Steve made a typo when he requested
3-15-1. It isn't there.
Please let me know ASAP.
Steve Ricke
Given that all 100 units will be swapped out after the
Oakland election, the 3.15.1 version, per Jeff Hintz/Sophias request, is
fine for the Oakland election and the 50 new units being shipped
in.

This week. We have to ship these units on
the 14th to have them arrive by the 21st. The Rockies still turn a
three business day shipment into a five business
day.

Ian, when do you need to know about the software
version to load?

The equipment hadn't shipped yet. The
new Blue and White units are still in production. No Ballot
Station software has been loaded onto the Master Hard Drive.
(It changes too fast to keep up with it). If you want 3.13.5.1
loaded, please have the project manager(s) confirm this via
email.
My suggestion is that you try to maintain
the same version of Ballot Station Software across all the
units.
Ian
Has this equipment been shipped
yet??? The reason I ask, I was wondering if we should put on
the same AVTS version that we currently have in Oakland & LA,
which is 3.13.5.1. Since we will be using a combination of
the new units along with the units that they already have, and
also using units from Oakland as backup for LA.
Suggestions???
Ian,
I just faxed the work order for the Oakland
election for Alameda.
50 AVTS units (I guess the blue and white - no
modems necessary)
30 Spyrus cards (I will need 10 shipped ASAP
for the PIEDMONT election)
250 Smart cards (that work with the Spyrus -
I'll need 50 of the Smartcards by Feb.12 for
Piedmont)
these
will need the Alameda Logo - Perhaps you can add some Identifier
on the logo to distinguish
these
cards from the other 250 cards.
I attached a spread sheet to show the amount
we are billing for the Oakland election $196,700 with 50% to be
billed on delivery and 50% billed on certification of the April
17 election. By then we'll know about the next 900 units
for the UDEL in November. Please keep me informed about
smart cards and spyrus issues as Jeff Hintz will be heading to
Alameda on Jan. 23 for Logic and Accuracy testing and will, I'm
sure, be asked about how they are creating cards in the
precincts.
Thanks
