A few notes about ALMA developments activities for this month.

• There haven't been many observations in Chile, due to power outages with the new power system.
• ALMA release 10.2 features was completed last week. Integration testing activities are starting.
• The "OMC Reloaded" effort, which was a sub-project targetting to improve the user interfaces for ALMA release 10.2 was completed.
• A problem was detected in the correlator quantization correction algorithm. It doesn't work very well with low power levels during Tsys calibration. A request to modify the implementation has been discussed, it was implemented and it's being tested.
• ALMA phasing project activities are going according to the plan. This week we are working on completing the design of the observing modes. We'll probably be able to begin implementing some of this changes this week.
• 100% data rates in the correlator is under testing. After this we'll work on removing RTAI from the nodes machines, and after this we'll begin implementing BL correlator subarrays.
• About hiring, the selection process for 2 open positions has been completed. We have sent recomendations to hire for Rachel Rosen and Alexis Tejeda. About the other position that we have open (Control/ObOps Software Engineer II), we have re-advertised in a wider market, as we didn't get good cadidates advertising only in El Paso, NM.
