      During the discussion about development of PanDA (on first page of Action Agenda) Horst and Pat described progress made at OU. Here is a synopsis of that discussion from Horst: "So OU_OSCER_ATLAS, the OSCER topdawg cluster, has a regular osg-0.6.0 installation, and we have started running ATLAS PanDA jobs there about 2 weeks ago, and have been very successful at it. The major step necessary for that to be possible was that PanDA can now use a "remote" ATLAS DDM (Distributed Data Management) storage element (SE) for temporary storage of the input and output files. It requests the input files be downloaded to that DDM SE and then gets them via gridftp to the worker nodes, and then uploads the output files back to the DDM SE via gridftp, and then schedules the uploading."

      Site Reports 20m

      LTU Site Report: OSG Grid activities at both LTU and LSU are suspended at the moment. LTU production should resume very soon because LONI has been connected to LTU and will be fully operational in 2-3 days. The reprocessing jobs at LTU_CCT will resume very soon once Sam White has completed the installation on new hardware at LSU. ISU Site Report from Jim Cochran: "A few weeks ago we asked Joel to submit some SAMGrid jobs to our site as a test. Out of 40 jobs he submitted only 8 finished correctly - the failures appeared to be due to inability to access various datasets and databases. A day or so later Charles noted that he had been watching as the SAMGrid jobs were running and found a firewall issue. He fixed the firewall issue and Joel has agreed to submit more jobs - that was monday and I've not heard anything since then (although AmesLab is having a program review this week so Charles is preoccupied until Monday)."
