Dear All The next UKI monthly deployment meeting will take place via VRVS on Wednesday 16th November from 11:00 to 12:00. Please make a note of the time and date. The agenda will be created over the next few weeks but you can be sure that preparation for Service Challenge 4 will be the main focus: http://agenda.cern.ch/fullAgenda.php?ida=a056648 Following this I should remind you that the next HEPSYSMAN meeting will take place in Oxford on 5th December: http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/sysman/. This meeting will likely have some talks related to grid components/activities (possibly SRM implementations, scheduling and network considerations). The LCG Grid Deployment Meeting this week did not resolve the VO Box question (did you really think that it would!). The next step is to await evaluations of the current SC3 implementations at the Tier-1s (including RAL) and for the experiments to feedback on the questionnaires. I will write a more detailed summary next week. For now, the experiment presentations attached to the GDB agenda may be of interest as these try to capture the main motivations: http://agenda.cern.ch/askArchive.php?base=agenda&categ=a055283&id=a05528 3s0t8/transparencies Regards, Jeremy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Dr Jeremy Coles GridPP Production Manager CCLRC eScience Department Phone: (+44)(0)1235 778256 Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Fax: (+44)(0)1235 446626 Chilton, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 0QX, UK Email: [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------
