Minutes of the meeting held on the 28th of April, 2008

Attendees: Brian Bockelman (CMS), Tony Cass, Matt Crawford, Flavia Donno, Giacinto Donvito    
                  (CMS), Patrick Fuhrmann, John Gordon, Gene Oleynik, Harry Renshal, Jamie Shiers

Minutes: Flavia Donno

Jamie: The goal is to discuss the Addendum at the WLCG Management Board at the beginning of 
           June. Since in May there are many vacations, it would be wise not to expand the current 
           document with new features.
John:   The details have already been agreed.
Patrick: We only reached technical agreement. If needed, the dCache team will focus on reliability 
             and performance more than on the implementation of new features. Fermilab + CMS agree
             with this approach.
Tony: Not sure if he can represent the CASTOR team. From a deployment point of view, the FIO
          group will deploy whatever necessary.
Flavia: Should we adopt a minimalistic approach and review the document to cover only what is
           strictly needed ? Can the developers make an estimate for an implementation plan that
           covers time needed per feature ?
Gene: Proposes to discuss this issue and review the document during the next dCache 
          developers+site phone conference on Friday the 2nd of May.

Jamie proposes the following deadlines that have been agreed by all:

May 19, 2008: technical agreement among developers
May 26, 2008: approval by the experiments
June 2, 2008: estimate for implementation
June 10, 2008: presentation of the proposal at the WLCG Management Board

Flavia will send the schedule for next technical meetings to discuss the WLCG Addendum to the SRM v2.2 MoU.
