- Balazs & Laurence to put together a EMI service registry "position" slide: done
1) Padova all-hands:
- Area leaders should fill their area blocks on Monday morning ASAP.
- Tuesday morning has a plenary slot on "Consolidation". Balazs will introduce and chair this block. This is the place where each area must present its (draft) consolidation plan as an input for general discussion. Presentations needed:
Data: Jon
Compute: Marco (to cover both clients and MPI)
Security: John
Infra: Laurence (to cover resource level, index level info services and info clients)
- The Tuesday afternoon parallel working session slots are "sold out". If there is a need for a group work, that still can be done in this time slot on the corridor or in some corner. Please send info about any kind of planned group meeting.
- Wednesday morning will contain the "summary talks". Area leaders are expected to sum up everything that happened during the all-hands.
2) Release endorsement
- Cristina sent package update information to the PTB list:
Update 8, started on 03.10,2011 – to be released on 13.10.2011
will contain, probably: revision update for APEL parsers and minor updates for MPI & ARC (presented in PTB_04_10_2011 report)
New product updates after update 8:
- minor updates for L&B (https://savannah.cern.ch/task/?23047): Nagios probes for the L&B server (dev.task #21889)
PTB approved the L&B probes.
3) EGI Virtualization Task force:
There is still no EMI involvement. EMI needs a delegate if for noting else then to follow what is happening there (the task force runs weekly meetings)
https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Fedcloud-tf:FederatedCloudsTaskForce
proposal: somebody from Nikhef will be the delegate. Needs to be confirmed with Nikhef, John is following it up.
4) PTB feedback on SA2 material
SA2 produced the EMI Quality Model (https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EMI/QualityModel) and waits for feedback.
Patrick things that the administration, paper work is still increasing in the middle of the project.
John: don't understand the purpose of the Quality Model. It is an impressive data collection exercise.
5) aob
Patrick mentions a recent problem with UMD software stack. He'll post a report to PTB and Cristina, being the EMI-EGI release contact, will follow this up with EGI.
