Hello all, I've taken a break from whining about python to send you the 
ticket update you all look forward to.
Cheers,
Matt

Progress (9/11)
I think jet are all upgraded, but having nagios issues. Might need a 
hand from someone. Not sure why this ticket hasn't closed though.

BRISTOL: https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=87472 (17/10) In 
Progress (19/11)
Have an emi2 test CE up and running, so things are looking good.

BRUNEL: https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=87469 (17/10) In 
Progress (5/11)
Site is on EMI2, so I don't understand why this ticket didn't 
auto-close. Worth manually solving it (unless you guys have some hidden 
glite about the place).

UCL: https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=87468 (17/10) On hold (1/11)
Ben hoped to have an EMI cream by the 9th, not sure that that target was 
reached.

SHEFFIELD: Elena has closed their ticket after upgrading everything.

NGI/VOMS
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=88546 (16/11)
Setting up a new "epic" VO (that's actually what they're calling 
themselves). Debate in the finer points of naming - original suggestion 
was "epic.gridpp.ac.uk" but need to decide on some precedent for future 
VO naming. Andy McNab suggest the VO registers it's own domain name and 
uses that. In progress (16/11)

https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=88395 (9/11)
David Meredith asks the NGI (i.e. us) if there are any objections to 
deleting the "UKI-Local-MAN-HEP" site-that-never-was from the gocdb. 
Waiting for reply (13/11)

RHUL
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=88417 (11/11)

https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=88376 (8/11)
Biomed ticketed Glasgow with a problem on one of their CEs, but have

(9/11)

DURHAM
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=86242 (20/9)
Another example of biomed's silence when asked a question. Waiting for 
reply (5/11)

https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=88262 (6/11)
How are Birmingham's power problems coming along? On hold (9/11)

RALPP
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=88099 (3/11)
Transfer errors continued, although they've changed in nature. The last 
update was from Wahid on Thursday, any word from the site? They've been 
quiet on this one, which suggests that they're not getting alerts. In 
progress (16/11)

OXFORD
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=86106 (14/9)
Low atlas sonar rates to BNL. Brian asked if you guys could see if the 
bad rates also applied to direct globus-url-copies. Have you had a 
chance to have a bash at this? In Progress (6/11)

Discussion point (mainly for atlas): In 
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=86334 Wahid and Brian had an 
exchange about the usefulness of tickets to track very long standing 
issues- the main grumble for Wahid seemed to be the constant presence of 
ECDF on the daily resume because of this ticket. I agree with Brian that 
tickets are the tool to track issues, but the constant noise created by 
this ticket (which isn't going anywhere fast) is a nuisance. Maybe the 
resume needs to start ignoring certain classes of tickets (low priority, 
on hold ones for example).

Tickets from the UK:
https://ggus.eu/tech/ticket_show.php?ticket=87891
Chris's ticket concerning the hard-to-kill lhcb jobs.
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=87264
Daniela's ticket concerning the enormous number of entries showing up in 
/var/glite/log, with some interesting input from Daniela. QMUL & 
Lancaster also see this problem, if you do too please add your voice (to 
coax a swifter fix).

If you have any tickets you'd like the spot light on, please let me know.
