Dear All
It is great to see that UKI as a region leads the ranking for October in terms of both EGEE site availability and site reliability. The breakdown is available here: https://edms.cern.ch/file/963325/1/egee_october2008.pdf. Thank you to everyone involved for helping us to achieve these results. I am sure that we can maintain this result and will improve upon them - indeed our GridPP targets are 95% in both areas.
Some next steps:
1) In order to understand where we can improve, I will shortly be circulating a link to new history charts akin to those already used to gather site comments on availability/reliability issues - for the last set see http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/SAM_availability:_October_2007_-_May_2008.
2) The autumn 2008 HEPSYSMAN meeting takes place tomorrow in Manchester: http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/sysman/nov2008/agenda.html. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion. If you are unable to get to Manchester for this meeting, please consider joining by EVO (if it is available - hopefully this will be confirmed shortly).
3) We have an opportunity next week at the WLCG planning workshop to present UK Tier-2 views on the WLCG project so far and what we would like to see change over the next 6-12 months. I have asked the Tier-2 coordinators to gather input from their sites for inclusion in the overview, so please support them and me by coming forward with your thoughts. If there are things you want addressed then this is a good time to speak up! The agenda for the meeting is in Indico: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceOtherViews.py?view=standard&confId=32660. Note that an EVO connection will be available if you wish to hear a specific talk.
Thanks again for your continued efforts and support,
Jeremy
