Hi all,

I am currently (and will be also tomorrow) visiting HP. I did bring my
headset and time permitting may be able to connect back to the storage
meeting - I also tested EVO and it seems to be not firewalled off -
but in case I am not able to connect, don't wait for me...

The main thing for tomorrow is to provide feedback from the Storage
(and Data Management) TEGs - if Wahid is there?

Also, it may be worth picking up on the recent discussions from the list,
such as the space tokens for non-small non-LHC VOs and checksumming
scripts.

If there is time (and this is related to the TEG) it would also be worth
discussing plans for testing WebDAV. In fact, Jeff gave me a WebDAV
document from NIKHEF, the abstract of which I include here:

----begin abstract----- A new grid data access model has been developed
at Nikhef, based on a caching mechanism and WebDAV access. This grid
proxy cache can be added independently "in front of" existing Logical
File Catalogue (LFC) and Storage Resource Manager (SRM) implementations,
without having to make any modifications to the LFC or SRM servers. It
provides a caching mechanism to speed up access to frequently requested
files, as well as a transparent platform-independent access protocol. A
secure WebDAV interface is offered, so that no grid-specific client
software is needed to access the grid proxy cache. The WebDAV interface
is accessible using username and passwords from Windows XP/Vista/7 and
Mac OS X clients, and using grid certificates or proxies from Linux
worker nodes. The grid proxy cache also includes load balancing and
redundancy mechanisms -----end abstract----- where I guess we will be
mostly interested in how this was used as a front end (if I read it right)
and if we can use it with our own storage systems as WebDAV servers. Of
course, WebDAV is not new and has been suggested many a time before for
use with HEP.
