[Ct-grid] I am back with a new family member
by Hurng-Chun Lee 05 Nov '08

Hello, I am just back from the vacation with a most important production, Wen- Sheng Lee, the first baby in my family. He was born on 25th October at 4:30 am, 3240 gram. (http://picasaweb.google.com/HurngChunLee/WenShengLee# ) I have some traditional Taiwanese candy to celebrate it (they were prepared by my mother). If you like, you could pass by my office to get it ;-) Cheers, Hurng

[Ct-grid] Announcement: LOFAR archive technical workshop, Amsterdam, 27 Nov 13.30-17.00
by Dennis van Dok 04 Nov '08

(re-sent because mailman is acting up, sorry if this is a dup) Hi all, on November 27th a technical workshop will be held in Amsterdam to discuss storage solutions for the LOFAR long term archive. This meeting is organised by the LOFAR archive working group, which is a short-lived task force to draft a blue print for the archive's design before the end of 2008. In an earlier workshop with the LOFAR key science projects, we've discussed the requirements from the user's point of view. The focus of the upcoming meeting will be to reflect our findings with the mass storage experts. Could you please reply directly to me if you intend to come (if you've not already done so)? Thanks, Dennis van Dok -- D.H. van Dok :: Software Engineer :: www.nikhef.nl :: www.vl-e.nl Phone +31 20 592 50 12 :: http://www.nikhef.nl/~dennisvd/

[Ct-grid] pre-GDB on storage services
by Jeff Templon 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Hi * Given the recent discussions on data management / grid, I thought this might be of interest to many of you: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=20247 usually there is videoconf via evo. Note in particular the following discussion points: These are the data management (DM) tools we have at present: =============================== 10:45 WLCG high level tools; DPM status and plans; information providers (20') David Smith (CERN) An update on WLCG high level tools (FTS, gfal, lcg-utils), on DPM status, available and recommended releases and on the DPM information providers ============================== * tools for checking SE-LFC synchronisation (this is what Silvia brought up last mtng) ============ StoRM status and new release (we are looking into a pilot project with Storm) and then from 14:00 to 18:00 a whole session on Tier-1 services with dCache, extremely relevant for our site.

[Ct-grid] big grid / nl-t1 ops meetings
by Jeff Templon 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Hi *, Ik hoop dat ik iedereen hiermee bereik (Ronald vD wil jij het aan Serge forwarden?) Zoals velen (maar niet allen) van jullie weten, hadden we bij de vorige maandagochtend vergadering besloten om over te gaan naar een nieuwe overleg structuur. Van Dennis heb je al iets over de 'algemene' vergaderingen gehoord. Dit bericht gaat specifiek over de *operations* meetings. De volgende ideeen hebben we op dit moment: * een goede moment is dinsdag middag, 13.00 * eerst een algemene ops vergadering met iedereen die er iets mee te maken heeft * aan het einde een korte stuk over Tier-1 zaken * er moet "iets" komen die vergelijkbaar is met gridview. het doel is: - we monitoren hoe we het doen - informatie uitwisseling over problemen en de oplossingen Of dat nou gridview is of iets anders is niet zo belangrijk, het belangrijkste is dat het nuttig is. naast de wekelijkse vergaderingen wil ik graag wat 'bliksem' vergaderingen een paar keer per week hebben. dit via een web conference, het doel is om het onder de 10 minuten te houden tenzij het echt langer moet. het doel is een soort status vergadering en gericht op problemen; als alles gewoon werkt bij alle big grid partners, hoeft de vergadering geen 30 seconden te duren. Ik stel voor dat we het vandaag niet doen, beetje kort van te voren en Nikhef is nog bezig met puin ruimen van gisteren. Maar let the discussion begin. JT
