Experiment problems/issues Review of weekly issues by experiment/VO - LHCb "1) EGEE broadcast sent today (4th August) about the new VOMS "pilot" role that must be configured on every site. This role will be supposed to run generic pilot and then used only to submit through a CE and run glexec. 2) Remark the importance of Savannah bug http://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?39641 (User proxy mixup for job submissions too close in time) to be escalated at the EMT. " - CMS - ATLAS "Kors - We will organize a last Jamboree before LHC turn-on on Thursday August 28 and a preliminary agenda can be found at: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=38738 We would really appreciate if representatives of at least all Tier-1's but also of the major Tier-2's will be there, but of course everybody is welcome. The Friday we will use for tutorials and training but we can also organize some extra meetings if needed. The Monday through Wednesday of that same week there will be an Analysis workshop with a focus on tools and development. We have reserved the IT Aud. for that whole week and a video link will be set up also." -- Site memory requirements (see Graeme's mail) - Other

Tier-1 LFC - what was underlying the recent problem seen by ATLAS? - what is the perceived stability of the LFC? - what options are available for making this SPF more reliable? - what is happening on the experiment side and in other countries/regions? - suggestion to have this as a discussion item at the Jamboree.

Quarterly reports and project matters - I need to extract the T2 data this afternoon - What are the remaining issues with the reports? - DTEAM format -- Is there anything anyone wishes to change about the format of this meeting? - DTEAM attendance for 2008 so far.... -- Of 26 meetings (2 others have no valid minutes or attendee record) --- Jeremy 85%; Derek 77%; Raja 77%; Duncan 73%; Pete 73%; Andrew 69%; Greig 69%; Frederic 54%; Jens 54%; Alessandra 50%; David 50%; Graeme 50%; Mingchao 50%; Brian* 31%; Stephen 23%. - Actions -- Difficult to track the time to resolve open actions due to inconsistencies in the way they are closed (i.e. often no closed date given). Nagios rollout and COD handover - What is the status per T2 (how many sites have Nagios?) - COD training and identified people/teams per T2 -- How are the recruitments progressing?

SE probes and other security matters - "Seems" like a standard port probe - We need more log information if we expect any ISP action - What risks are there if the packet content changes (to valid traffic for that port) - DNS vulnerability comms issues

Actions review

AOB - Attending the ATLAS jamboree - EGEE participation (plus training) - Storage/network tests - AE to start reviewing?
