1. Operational issues

   At Glasgow, an array decided to rebuild itself, impacting the transfer
   rates.  Probably hard to guard against this as failures are not really
   predictable and it tends to be best to rebuild as soon as possible
   after failure

   Reminded Jens of disk server models - if people are interested, could
   see if we could dig out the models.  E.g. to replicate data across racks,
   and across generations.

2. Participate in WebFTS?

   Seems like a useful alternative/addition to GlobusOnline.

3. Review of the federation workshop at SLAC

   We reviewed some of the presentations, but as none of us were actually
   present, we couldn't really cover everything.  But particular highlights
   included xroot plugins (and xroot 4), and scaling AAA for CMS, as well as
   the summary... while it summarises the bullet points, it will need more
   time to tie it together.

   There might be collaboration opportunities, like we have with CEPH, which
   could be identified.  The UK has been pretty good with participating in
   early testing of things like "federated" storage.

4. What to do with storage KeyDoc page?

   Identitfy the audience - probably most useful for external people, give an
   overview of the work done in GridPP and the skills we have.  Maybe also for
   new VOs.

I think the hypothesis is that this is good, and we should see if we can find any evidence that falsifies that.
