11:00 → 11:20 Experiment problems/issues

Review of weekly issues by experiment/VO How does the new machine schedule affect UK plans? How can we best make use of the additional time before collisions - Could we run a "General User Challenge" or is this happening anyway within the experiments (i.e. getting users to try doing analysis and day-to-day work over the grid)? - LHCb - CMS - ATLAS - Other

11:35 → 11:55 Items from EGEE'08

- Versioning (Alessandra/Duncan) -- See mail sent last Wednesday at 11:14 -- The talk is here: http://indico.cern.ch/materialDisplay.py?contribId=342&sessionId=60&materialId=slides&confId=32220 1) gLite version – how do you want versions published and to what level is required/acceptable? 2) How should WN version(s) be published. [Note that several versions may be installed on a WN. VOs would like their jobs to have more information about the environment before submission]. 3) Acceptable versions – previously this was defined by a “minimum” version number and was clearest for the SEs. How should this be published and used? How do you want to know? 4) End-of-life. When a middleware version is no longer supported, what process should be employed to remove it? - Security (Mingchao) -- An update on things covered/decided -- Links to training?

11:55 → 12:05 Actions & Issues review

- Please check the actions now: http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Deployment_Team_Action_items (many on me anyway!). Question: Why are we not generating many (explicit) actions from these meetings recently? - What other tools would make DTEAM more effective? We have an Issues log (http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Deployment_Issues) but it is has not been well used or kept up-to-date. Why? Not useful or simply forgotten about?
