ROC update (15')     
ROC update
***************
There was a COD meeting last week. We'll return to discuss COD in more detail next week. 

An upcoming EGI meeting is on 30th June: http://www.eu-egi.eu/workshop/jun08

ops update
****************
Release news is now at: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/OpsMeetingGliteReleases. 

Most of the meeting was about Short Deadline Jobs. Slides are linked to the ops agenda: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=34585.  These jobs do not queue and require changes (rpm) to the batch system. Biomed is the current main user (e.g. medical imaging). Boolean in JDL allows identification of the jobs. Lots of testing done.  

Which sites are interesting in implementing this feature. Biomed supporting sites may be ticketed shortly. 

WLCG update
*****************
The daily WLCG meetings continue. The meeting log (for this wee) can be found here: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGDailyMeetingsWeek080616.

RAL T1 has an issue with LHCb pilots (due to the rank expression). 
 

There was a GDB last week. Graeme's summary is in the wiki: http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GDB_reports. 

- Any T2 items to follow up?


Ticket status
***************
- Weekly reminders on open tickets is currently being implemented by GGUS.

T2 accounting for funding (10')     
- Next period will be from September/October (allows purchases from first hardware grant to have taken place)
- Question of what will be used: wallclock time or CPU time. 
- How about disk which is not being used by expts. as specified in models [differentiate disk that can not be used for technical reasons vs can not be used]

-- Then what are the recommendations to improve availability of the resources (such as dual Gb links).
 12:05

- For those who missed it, the PPAN report is here: http://www.scitech.ac.uk/STFCConsultation/sources/PPANRep.pdf. 

- There has been a request for users of the GridPP infrastructure to join GridPP-Users. An attempt was made to reuse existing lists but there was some doubt about coverage. GridPP-Users is not expected to receive much traffic.
