Core tasks update/discussion
11:40 - 11:50
- We need a process to identify and follow-up discussions that have an impact on documentation (and from other discussions dissemination too). - It is thought that some tasks such as monitoring need a new focus on sharing enabling solutions (such as scripts for monitoring and configuration management solutions). - The priority of SL6 and IPv6 is now such that we will increase our engagement in testing efforts. - There is concern about divergence in small VO needs and middleware capabilities – Ganga and a DIRAC instance may help bridge the developing job submission gap, but effort to provide/support them is a concern. - In light of encouragement to partner more with industry, it would be useful to clarify with JANET the circumstances under which the academic network can be used where there are commercial implications. - It is felt that we need a more joined-up (informing) effort in regards to new technologies. [Sites would benefit if testing on behalf of GridPP rather than a single individual or on a site-by-site basis]. - Several new areas are opening up that have the potential to change our daily operations. These include integration of clouds and increased use of federated storage.
