GridPP PMB Minutes 39 - 8th July 2002
======================================
Present: Tony Doyle, Tony Cass, Dave Britton, Robin Middleton,
Nick Brook, Steve Lloyd, Peter Clarke, Neil Geddes (on phone).
'Hands On' Conference in Sheffield
==================================
The PMB began by discussing the abstract for the 'hands on' conference in
Sheffield. Submissions for this have to be in by 12th July. It is
intended that that three demos be initiated for this headed by Dave
Collings. The suggested input will be from CMS and EDG middleware.
with BaBar existing demo as a reserve. There will be approximately
6 people working with Dave and will include Andrew McNab, Steve Fisher and
Gavin McCance. All contributers will be credited for their input in these
demos.
NG said that only e-science centres would be demonstrating but PPARC would
put up posters. NB said that that no-one from EB apart from BaBar had
volunteered to do a demo. Dave Colling is arranging for the use of
screens and network connections etc for the day, via Steven Newhouse at
LeSC.
TD said that a general talk had already been prepared for the conference
which he will give but asked for suggestions for the content of a second
talk which would be more technical and relate to how the applications
can use the testbed. After some discussion it was decided that Dave
Colling or Andrew McNab be approached to do this.
The PMB then discussed what posters could be displayed at the demo. RM
said that there were several WP posters that could be used and he would
collate and email them to the PMB. NB said he would try to get a poster
from CDF. TD said that authorship should be defined to show that GridPP
is operating as a whole.
It was agreed that the abstracts should be in the required mini-paper
format and at this stage there will be 1 for a general demo [3 screens],
2 for overview-type talks, 4 for the EB and 4 for middleware. An
intermediate deadline was set for Wednesday evening.
NEW ACTION 39.1 - Make sure all abstracts are in for Friday 12th July
