      • New LFC release - status
        From C5 report:

        Target is for deployment T0/T1s prior to mid-Feb for next ATLAS 'SC'-style activity.

        See DDM operations hot topics and current activity

      • Reinstallation of service nodes - target end 2006

      • Start of transfer tests to/from VECC Kolkata

        Schedule for services to enter full production:
        1. 1/3/2007: ATLAS conditions in production at CERN, ASGC, BNL, CNAF, FZK, IN2P3, RAL
        2. 1/4/2007: ATLAS conditions in production also at NDGF, PIC, SARA & TRIUMF
        3. 1/4/2007: LHCb conditions in production at CERN, CNAF, FZK, IN2P3, PIC, RAL & SARA.
        Paper
      • CASTOR interventions - update on scope & schedule
      • Other changes in the pipeline
      • WLCG Collaboration Workshop (Tier0/Tier1/Tier2) post-mortem

        270 people registered

        • 27 countries (1-42, av.7.7) + CERN (62)
        • 86 Sites

        Good attendance at plenary/summary sessions (100+)
        Little discussion
        More discussion in “BOF”s
        Lots of corridor discussion and side ad-hoc meetings
        Felt to be well worthwhile, but a long week.
        Worth doing – but not too often

        Current thought is to have a full collaboration workshop ~1 time per year, typically mid-way between last year's and this year's data taking.

        Complemented by topical / regional smaller workshops (outside as far as possible?).

        Will also have a smaller event - following up on outstanding issues - at CHEP 2007 (and CHEP 2009???)
