========
TD informed the Board that an EGEE meeting was taking place that day. NG
was in attendance for PPARC as well as TD and RM for GridPP. General
discussion had indicated that it was hoped to go beyond PP by viewing
things from an e-science point of view. Hans Hoffman noted that the UK
e-science approach could be extended by EU. The Board discussed
investment and resources for infrastructure that could be deployed for PP,
the key being to make sure that we are part of EU development.
The Board then talked about the programme for the next IC meeting. TD or
had to finalise WP4 and WP7 arrangements, but the main programme was in
place. DB said Sarah Marr would do a demo of a GridPP portal for this
meeting. A slot would be arranged for this.
SL asked if board members could pass their comments to him on the HiPhi
submission.
JG said that the LCG Grid Deployment Board had a meeting arranged in
Milan on October 4th that he will attend. SL has been added to the
mailing list as his deputy.
TC said they should talk about hardware spending at CERN at Wednesday's meeting.
TD said that they should go through the Project Map on Wednesday, led by
DB. DB said he was working on creating links from one document to another,
the aim being to provide documentary proof (via links) whenever a metric
has been met.
NEW ACTION 46.2 - DB to provide members with updated Project map for
Wednesday's meeting.
TD said we needed an agenda for Wednesday to include discussion of the
Project Map, OC meeting and IC meeting.
NEW ACTION 46.3 - DB to prepare and send agenda to members for Wednesday's
meeting.
