GridPP PMB Minutes 44 - 19th August 2002
========================================
Present: Tony Cass (intermittent connection), Pete Clarke, Tony Doyle,
Steve Lloyd.
In view of the low attendance, only a few timely actions were discussed.
SL noted that Ari Datta had decided to leave his WP3 post in September.
It was not clear where the most appropriate location for a future
appointment would be.
NEW ACTION 44.1 SL to contact Steve Fisher to discuss technical requirements
and, hence, procedure for new WP3 appointment.
SL noted that six responses had been received so far on Tier-2 Centres.
A deadline would be given to the CB for the end of this week.
NEW ACTION 44.2 SL to collate Tier-2 Centre inputs.
ACTION 40.37 : SL Look at Sysman effort.
SL (on behalf of CNAP) had circulated a summary of the issues/problems
related to increased workload for sysman, due to Grid development to the
PMB and George Lafferty (Chair of the Grants Panel). This would form part
of the input in the evaluation of future Grid development esp. w.r.t.
future Tier-2 support.
CLOSED.
PC noted that the choice of the EB/TB date of Wednesday 18th Sept was
proving impractical due to clashes with ATLAS, LHCb, Networking meetings.
In response he proposed that this be postponed to later in September
under Chairman's action. This was approved.
NEW ACTION 44.3 PC to contact EB and TB to re-arrange joint EB/TB meeting.
ACTION 43.1 TD to compile inputs on IC Collab. Mtg. and circulate
draft agenda
Input on the EB side had been received from NB. On the TB side, the
proposal, following discussion, was to include (on Tuesday 17th Sept.):
1. Middleware status reports
2. TB 1.2 release status
3. TB 1.2 deployment status/experience (selected sites)
4. Tier 1/A report
PC planned to discuss with the UK deployment meeting later that day.
A draft schedule would be prepared on this basis.
ACTION 42.2 JG to keep in touch with EPSRC on behalf of GridPP submissions
to All-Hands Meeting.
CLOSED.
JG had prepared a status summary file in
http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/pmb/allhands.html
Handouts (reduced versions of the posters, backed by summary info. from
the abstracts) were being proposed for general use and for the PPARC stand
in particular.
ACTION 42.1 ALL to investigate possible clashes with other projects
during February in order to allow fixing a date for the 6th Collaboration
Meeting.
JG had proposed Feb 10-11 (due to clashes with experiment mtgs. later in
February). SL noted that Monday afternoons are problematic.
New proposal: Thurs-Friday Feb 13-14.
Ongoing..
TD noted that he would be giving a GridPP talk to theory students at
BUSSTEPP on Wednesday.
TD noted that he had been invited to speak and welcomed input on
the "data-centric issues" panel at the all hands meeting. (This was
a broad scope, but he hoped to concentrate on Grid Data Management
and interfaces to the Experiments).
