Hi All,
On the topic of Tier 2 evolution, one interesting thing that I found out about at the European HTCondor workshop last week is that OSG offer a Hosted CE option to T3 sites with an existing batch farm.
It’s essentially a remote HTCondor-CE that has ssh (via keys) access to a submit machine. If anyone has a Local Cluster with CentOS7+CVMFS+Singularity, or is likely to in the near future then this looks like a very easy way to gridify it.
There’s a little bit about it here:

Yours,
Chris.
