Speaker: Marcin Radecki

11:20 → 11:35 1st line & deployment support

1. News from COD-16 affecting 1st line supports 1.1 Short report on the model agreed (MR) The model depicted here: http://jamesc.web.cern.ch/jamesc/OAT/EGEE-III-Activity-TEC-XXXX-Operations-Automation-v0-8-1.doc page 33. 1.2 Need for a tool for interaction between 1st line and sites * web forum - OK, but that means introducing a new tool, some ROCs (SEE) want to do this kind of interaction as it is now i.e. through regional helpdesk * GGUS - could it be used for that purpose also with assumptions that: --> we'll create new support unit "1st line" for each ROC --> a problem description and solution need somehow be recorded there - can be done by site admin or 1st line supporter --> ability to change topic by a supporter if necessary We can take advantage of GGUS's search engine. Shall we start from a web forum to see how it will go? 2. Status of "use of BLOG for experience sharing and communication between 1st line supporters"
