* site registration/certification procedure defined
* BoD to be used by a few applications
* portal should help with gridification of applications
* per country portal offered by SZTAKI
* D3.1a ToC presentation by CERN
- D2.2 is more general, D3.1 should be more technical
- describe new components like glite WMS, vobox etc.
- glite assessment should give proposed configuration for sites
- country/regional deployment plan - which services should be
per country and which per region
- perhaps include site registration procedures also?
- name people responsible not just countries
* CA/RA security issues
- catch-all in GR
- TR, HU have CA
- HR, RO almost finished
- SR next
* expand RA per country network -> RA per institute
* new registration procedure
WP4
* problems in gridification
- developers not aware of all available grid services
- gridify -> test/certify -> deploy -> support/monitor
- do we need special VOs?
- local site -> seegrid VO+roles -> guidelines document for applications
* application questionnaire
- scoring scheme - some complaints
- one application per country until October
- AL - will decide in a few days
- BG - SALUTE
- BH - OAAforDCPP
- CG - Eilenberger
- HR - VPPR
- HU - EMMIL
- MK - will decide in a few days
- RO - DRMR
- SR - PBFS
- TR - G-PiP (high social and scientific impact)
WP5
* SEE-GRID Training Centre web page presented
- use new look for SEE-GRID
- repository of training material should be compatible with CERN Agenda
- try to use new CERN agenda system (Indico?)
- everyone send information about tutors and training centre they have
- D5.1 submitted - web site, docs repository and mailing lists
* training infrastructure discussion
- issuing of certificates is a problem
- use training CA with automatic issuing of certificates
- training cluster support training CA
- automatically adding users to training VO
- not easy to add new VO to all sites
- a few sites should support training VO for start
* virtual SEE doctoral school
- pool of professors
- pool of registered students
- pool of subjects
- collect the list of research subjects from every partner
