Dear Site Admins
As you will no doubt have heard the next workshop in the WLCG
collaboration series is to be held at CERN from the 22nd till the 26th
January at CERN: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=3738.
This will build on the success of the Tier-2 workshop (in terms of
content and style) that many of you attended. The January meeting is
going to be wider than just Tier-2s and the week is likely to include an
EGEE operations workshop component. Feedback received from the last
workshop will be used to tailor this one closer to what people want -
for example more opportunity for sharing and discussion.
GridPP is intending to fund in the same manner as for the last meeting.
That is, each GridPP site is likely to be funded to send one system
administrator. In addition those representing Tier-2s, working groups
(e.g. storage) will also likely receive funding.
In order to properly cost our involvement at this level I would like to
know interest and availability. Therefore please could each site prepare
a "bid" for each person they wish to send and forward this directly to
me ([log in to unmask])? If your "site" actually consists of independent
clusters (and therefore admins) you may wish to submit additional bids
for consideration, but please indicate which nominated person should
receive priority.
As before I will collate responses for consideration by the GridPP
Project Management Board. Please get your responses to me by 17th
November for consideration.
Many thanks,
Jeremy
