GridPP PMB Meeting 51 - 7th October 2002
===========================================
Present: Tony Doyle, Steve Lloyd, Nick Brook, Robin Middleton,
John Gordon, Dave Britton
The issues discussed at this meeting were regarding the reports for the OC
meeting next Monday.
Project Map:
DB stated that this was now final and a web version was also available. JG
said that he changed the totals on the Tier1 costs and sent these to DB.
TD asked if there was a guide on how to use the Project Map and DB
confirmed that there was. SL said he would upload the Project Map to the
web when finalised. TD said he would send the completed map to the OC
tomorrow to give them a weeks notice to look over it. It was noted that
the status date of the map was 28th September but the OC would be given an
update at next Monday's meeting after DB, NB and PC had had further
discussions this Wednesday.
Resource Report:
DB reported that this was near completion but RM wished to discuss
DataGrid figures for WP3 and WP4. They hope to do this at lunchtime
today.
LCG Report:
This is final except for a few typing errors which JG and TD had picked
up. TD asked JG to send alterations to him and he would then post the
report to the web.
Quarterly Report:
This is final but RM has still to post it to the web page.
Applications Quarterly Report:
This is now complete after NB had updated document number.
Tier-1/A Report:
JG has made some alterations and added in some extra comments on future
planning (next 6 months).
Executive Summary:
TD has produced the first draft and stated that this should emphasise the
role of the Project Map. It would explain how the Map is used to identify
the status of metrics and highlight tasks which are overdue. It would
also show how the Board plan to address risks. TD asked for comments on
the précis for each report. DB felt that the Resource summary could be
more explicit in the references to Tier-1/A and Tier-2 Planning. RM asked
if he could re-phrase "currently being implemented" in the last sentence
of the DataGrid report. NB offered to present slides to the OC as a back
up to the Applications Report to show the progress made but TD said they
were not interested in this level of detail (the meeting is for the
morning only). JG asked TD to change "monitoring tools" to "accounting
tools" in the Tier1/A report and state that issuing of certificates would
start at the end of October.
TD also included a report on dissemination and referred to the "UK
e-science All Hands Meeting" which was held last month. SL asked him to
include "developing a GridPP portal" in the near future.
TD then asked if any further comments could be received by today at
3.00pm. SL and DB said they would get back to him this evening.
The next PMB meeting will be held next Tuesday at 1.00pm. RM said he
would give a report on last week's meeting in Brussels regarding
framework 6.
