Progress on Actions
-------------------
ACTION 15.2 TD to iterate with OC on understanding of management of Tier2
Centres TD had made contact with Paul Jeffreys and was trying to fix a
date to meet. Ongoing
ACTION 17.9 SL with Andy McNab, improve website.
AmcN plans a visit to QMUL to work on this - Ongoing
ACTION 17.11 TD Contact AstroGrid project Manager. Ongoing.
ACTION 17.14 JG Revise Tier1/A Staffing levels.
Ongoing.
ACTION 17.19 DB process spreadsheet from PC and use in reporting.
No progress, DB away.
This prompted discussion on reporting. Aim is that the current EDG
framework of WPs and contacts should form the basis for reporting through
the WP contacts with additions only where necessary. Obvious additions
were: experiments for the round2 posts, RAL Tier1 and management. Core
funded CS posts and RAL/PPD people should be integrated into middleware.
The reporting of the round2 posts through EB reps needs agreeing with EB.
PC and RM have started discussing how to include the experiments
ACTION 23.1 NB Agree reporting of experiment posts with EB
ACTION 17.23 PC, RM , NB and Frank Harris to improve communication of TB
and EB with WP8. No progress - should happen this week at CERN.
ACTION 17.30 NB and RB to finalise EB meeting at end of March. Still
provisional for 26/3 at UCL as room not confirmed.
ACTION 20.1: PC & TD to produce integrated risk assessment document &
GANTT charts for OS meeting in April. No progress. Set aside an evening in
Paris to discuss.
ACTION 20.3: MDS/R-GMA discussion at TB meeting. The recent OGSA
announcements in Toronto cast doubt on the future of MDS so this is a hot
issue. GLUE = iVDGL and DataTAG had agreed to consider the CE and SE
schemas of EDG as a starting point for discussions on a common schema. EDG
ATF will discuss this and the impact of OGSA in Paris.
ACTION 20.5: NG to finalise written document describing how PPARC
controls unfunded EU effort with Fab. Ongoing. NG has produced a draft.
ACTION 20.6: SLL to provide NG with GridPP personnel details. TD sent our
summary of relevant contacts against eSC subject areas. DONE
Other Business
--------------
Quarterly Report - input due rom workgroup contacts before TB meeting mid
March
LCG Kickoff - JCG's input to Guy Wormser's talk was discussed. Should not
expose long list of UK sites wishing to be Tier2 sites. TD has to give a 4
slide summary of GridPP to Larry Price for his talk. Should also mention
Tier1. Less obvious how to refer to CERN part of GridPP.
GGF - RM had produced a personal summary but didn't want it ciculated too
widely; only to TB and EB.
InterGrid - GRIT has been renamed GLUE = Grid Laboratory Universal
Environment. There will be an Intergrid meeting on 21st July before GGF5
in Edinburgh.
NeSC Opening 25/4. We should aim for a spread of demonstrations. The
GridPP map needs fixing.
AOB
---
SL had received a CV from someone who had worked PP looking for Grid job.
He would circulate for possible matching against current vacancies.
ACTION 23.2 SL to circulate CV
RPM their was a BOF at GGF4 about Databases and the Grid. It had strong UK
represenatation and looked likely to lead to a working group.
