Dear All,
NeSC news attached. Note in particular:
EGEE Internal Induction
26 - 28 April 2004. Further details can be found at:
http://www.nesc.ac.uk/esi/events/411/
Expert volunteers are needed to induct the 4 trainers. For people who
previously contributed to EDG training this is your chance to improve the
process for wider training..
Cheers, Tony

JOSH V1.1 Release
-----------------
JOSH V1.1 - load and data-aware multi-site scheduling with Grid
Engine & Globus 3 is now available as binary and source archives from
http://gridengine.sunsource.net/project/gridengine/josh.html
JOSH (JOb Scheduling Hierarchically) is a multi-site job-management tool
built on top of Globus Toolkit V3 and Grid Engine. A JOSH user interface
(or client) allows the submission, monitoring and termination of jobs
running on Grid Engines at remote compute sites (the servers). JOSH also
handles the transfer of data files and executables to and from jobs. It
was developed by the Sun Data and Compute Grids project at EPCC and
contributed to the Grid Engine project.
JOSH V1.1 provides the following improvements over the previous V1.0.
- Two more criteria, load and proximity to data sources, can now be used
when matching a user's job requirements against Grid Engine instances at
available compute sites. Previously, in V1.0, only a site's ability to
run a job was considered.
- Job scripts can now be encrypted in findsite_ge.
- The findsite_ge and submit_ge can no longer choose sites where the
user does not have Globus access.
- All JOSH commands authenticate a user at a compute site.
