I'm going the Tier-2 rep at the September GDB next week (September 12th)
and also the Atlas federated access meeting
The GDB agenda is at:

The Atlas federated storage meeting is at:

There are two items where I think it may be useful to know the UK
status and views are:
1) Perfsonar deployment.
As far as I can tell from:
http://perfsonar.racf.bnl.gov:8080/exda/?page=25&cloudName=UK
11 sites have a deployment of perfsonar, though there's an issue at 6 of
these sites with either the Bandwidth (BW) or latency (Lat) service.
Here's a quick run through - Y=OK, N= some problem.
BW Lat Site
Y Y RAL (perfsonar-ps01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk)
N N 1:UKI-LT2-Brunel (dc2-grid-ps-00.brunel.ac.uk)
Y N 2:UKI-LT2-IC-HEP (netmon00.grid.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk)
Y Y 3:UKI-LT2-QMUL (perfsonar-bandwidth.esc.qmul.ac.uk)
Y Y 4:UKI-NORTHGRID-LANCS-HEP(pygrid-sonar1.lancs.ac.uk)
Y Y 5:UKI-NORTHGRID-LIV-HEP(hepsonar1.ph.liv.ac.uk)
Y Y 6:UKI-NORTHGRID-MAN-HEP(sv220317.tier2.hep.manchester.ac.uk)
Y Y 7:UKI-NORTHGRID-SHEF-HEP(lcgperf.shef.ac.uk)
N N 8:UKI-SCOTGRID-ECDF(gridpp-ps-band.ecdf.ed.ac.uk)
N N 9:UKI-SCOTGRID-GLASGOW(ps001.gla.scotgrid.ac.uk)
Y Y 10:UKI-SOUTHGRID-BHAM-HEP(epgperf.ph.bham.ac.uk)
Y N 11:UKI-SOUTHGRID-CAM-HEP(serv04.hep.phy.cam.ac.uk)
Y Y 12:UKI-SOUTHGRID-OX-HEP(t2ps-bandwidth.physics.ox.ac.uk)
N N 13:UKI-SOUTHGRID-RALPP
Can sites with issues have a look at this please - many of the sites are
mostly there, and I suspect the problem in many cases is failing to join
the GridPP group (and other sites therefore don't see you). It would be
nice to look like the UK is ahead on this issue.
2) Glexec.
Someone has a list of where we are don't they (with some sites having
hit a bit of an impasse with the tarball install - or lack therof).
Is there anything else anyone wants me to say (no guarantees though)?
