SC4 is scheduled to start in April 2006. However, preparations must begin much earlier, with key components in place no later than end January 2006. This requires agreements to be reached, developments to be made and hence a brief look at the timeline is required.
At the moment, two workshops are foreseen to prepare for SC4:
- During the week of 19 - 23 September, preferably outside CERN, involving not only the T0/T1s but the main T2s; discussion of analysis use cases, analysis system support (proof, xrootd etc.0
- Closer to SC4; final preparations (at CERN? in conjunction with CHEP in Mumbai?)
