GridPP PMB Minutes 168 - 18th April 2005
========================================
Present: Tony Doyle, Dave Britton & Sarah Pearce.
Apologies: Steve Lloyd, Dan Tovey, Peter Clarke, Jeremy Coles, Dave
Kelsey, Robin Middleton, Roger Jones & John Gordon
1. Quarterly Report Status
==========================
TD wanted to discuss the feedback process for this and how to handle what
happens downstream. DB said it would be helpful to have a timeframe for
this in place. The current situation is:
RM has all Middleware reports except Security and WMS. (There had been
some iteration about line reporting on security with DK but it was decided
to have one security line through AMcN.) DB said he had some discussion
with RM in terms of collating these to a website.
NEW ACTION: RM to post all quarterly report logbooks to a webspace.
RJ has posted the logbooks on the Applications side with only CMS & D0
missing.
SL has provided reports on Tier-2 Hardware posts.
TD noted that the current Tier-1 logbook didn't provide info on the
status of the high-level metrics, although work was ongoing on this.
There had previously been iteration between JC & Andrew Sansum on Tier-1
metrics which required completion.
NEW ACTION: JC & AS to discuss and finalise production grid milestones &
metrics for Tier-1.
TD said that an overall timeline should be put in place for future
reporting. This would explicitly state that the reports have been read
and any issues highlighted. Information from the logbooks would be passed
from the managers by the 15th of the month with any feedback. The
intention would be to allow time at the end of the month following each
quarter to update the project map.
DB said there were problems with the current quarterly reports due to the
clash with EGEE but he still hoped to have everything completed by the end
of the month. He added that the input received from SL on FTE effort
reporting from Hardware did not indicate what these people actually did,
making it difficult to report this work at high level through the Project
Map.
Actions
=======
157.2: RJ - review experiment computing models for Tier-1 to Tier-2
interactions in the UK.
ongoing - some progress has been made with one page on ATLAS
157.5: DB to co-ordinate development of new risk register.
done - Risks from NG to be added
157.9: RM to report on direction of GridPP in terms of middleware.
ongoing
157.12: SP to provide standard template talk for schools.
ongoing - BP is working on this at present

159.19: DB to make a list of all GridPP people and their roles
ongoing - An excel spreadsheet is being prepared with email contact
addresses. DB is also compiling a database made up of a series of pages
with links on each area to give more information. TD thought it would be
useful for SP to liase with DB on this as she is preparing business cards
with information on roles for GridPP personnel and beyond. NEW ACTION
NEW ACTION 168.1: RM to post all quarterly report logbooks to a webspace
ongoing - RM has requested a secured area from AMcN
NEW ACTION 168.2: JC & AS to discuss and finalise production grid
milestones & metrics for Tier-1
NEW ACTION 168.3: SP to liase with DB to update GridPP people and their
roles for the spreadsheet being prepared
Standing Items
==============
SI-1 ALL: to provide any news items and meeting dates for the web page to SP.
SP said she had updated the meetings pages with info on EGEE, GGF and CERN
School of Computing. TD said that GGF14 info could be forwarded to
UKHEPGRID.
SP said she had received some comments from JG on the RAL item on Service
Challenge 2
SI-2 Production Manager's weekly report of issues.
No report this week as JC is attending EGEE
AOB
===
SP said she was waiting on information on statistics from Nick Brook
