      CMS Operations Report 5m
      Speaker: Katy Ellis (Science and Technology Facilities Council STFC (GB))

      Katy is at CERN this week for CMS O&C week. Two talks on tape activities and one on UK resources in HL-LHC.

      Nothing new to report. I'm finding out how to deal with the /unmerged/ data that isn't being deleted, as discovered last week.
