AOCB
====
RM reported that a member of staff working in WP3 had handed in her
notice. He would have to advertise her post or arrange a secondment.
Another option was to sub-contract but he was not keen on the latter.
NEW ACTION 36.2 : RM to appoint new staff member for WP3
IBM Grid Innovation Centre Trip
===============================
TD discussed an earlier e-mail request by Daron Green (IBM)
that GridPP members be approached regarding the prospect of going
to IBM's Grid Innovation Centre in Montpelier to discuss technical
development work with IBM.
e-Science Hands-on Meeting, Sheffield (2-4/9/02)
================================================
Many members of GridPP have been invited...
RM noted the clash with the DataGrid meeting in Budapest.
The "montpelier" team may be useful in initiating a wide-ranging
GridPP demo although this required discussion. The IBM trip would be an
excellent learning exercise on Demonstrations - IBM were particularly
good at this.
RM expressed concern regarding the Budapest meeting as someone would also
be required for Sheffield at around the same time. TD said that the
people concerned would make their own choices as to what they could attend
but he felt that it was very important that we be represented at the
hands-on mtg.
It was decided that various members of the PMB should initiate/submit
abstracts for the hands-on meeting to represent the broad range of
middleware development and experiment grid integration. In addition
an overview of GridPP needed to be presented. The final submissions
would need to be in a format including GridPP and e.g. DataGrid or
specific experiments logos.
RM noted that the various middleware areas should prepare submissions.
TD noted that it was important that individuals gain individual
recognition for their work.
NEW ACTION 36.3 : RM/PC/JG to initiate middleware submissions for
e-science hands-on meeting in September by 12th July
It was generally recognised as important to demonstrate how the Grid can
work to the benefit of the experiments by September. RB noted that BaBar
would prepare a submission.
NEW ACTION 36.4 : NB/RB to initiate experiments submissions for e-science
hands-on meeting in September by 12th July
NEW ACTION 36.5 : TD to initiate GridPP overview submission for e-science
hands-on meeting in September by 12th July
TD noted that a wide-ranging GridPP demo should be attempted on the
September timescale.
PC said everyone should attempt to complete the work for the hands-on
meeting by e.g. third week of July to allow for holidays. The
synchronisation problems are apparent but it was generally thought that
this would not be possible.
DTI/Ministerial Day
===================
RB said he hoped to be attending the DTI/Ministerial Day on 25th June as
previously arranged but he if was unable, Richard Jones would go in his
place.
PPARC/CERN MoU
==============
TC noted there had been a discussion between PPARC and CERN (following
last week's PMB and subsequently at CERN) with regard to the PPARC MoU on
the UK funding of the LCG project. A new version would reflect the
existing mechanisms through GridPP.
TB/EB Meeting
=============
PC said that the TB/EB Meeting had been arranged for tomorrow.
