Roger Downing from STFC gave a summary of iRODS' capabilities and developments.


The meeting was marred somewhat by technical problems with Vidyo, as
both Roger and Jens after upgrading to the latest version had trouble
(in fact were unable to) connecting.  Problem has been reported to CERN
who in turn has reported the problem to Vidyo.


Jens: (9/24/14 9:58 AM)
I\ve got roger on the phone; he's trying to get vidyo working
Sorry we are a bit delayed'; roger is having trouble connecting
Does anyone know if there's a phone bridge?

Ta
I will try to reconnect.
Darn, I've been talking for >10mins about the EGI meetings today!!!
Ewan Mac Mahon: (10:19 AM)
Oh dear. I did wonder what that, apparently completely contextless, big data meeting Indico link was for.
Jens Jensen: (10:20 AM)
... and I was wondering why no one commented...
Duncan Rand: (10:23 AM)
Not entirely contextless, it starts today.
Christopher John Walker: (10:24 AM)
I'm interested in looking at the Daresbury data - some of that is mine...
iRods was sounding very much like SRM/LFC before the rule engine was talked about
Samuel Cadellin Skipsey: (10:29 AM)
The rule engine is really the "exciting" bit of iRODS.
Ewan Mac Mahon: (10:30 AM)
I always wonder whether it would be possible to run that bit as a separate service with (say) and SRM/webdav/S3 basic storage backend behind it.
(We are, of course, going to need to say some of this out load - the phone bridge isn't going to pass the chat)
Christopher John Walker: (10:40 AM)
Doesn't pass to my iPad either.
Which is why I'm on twice
Gareth Douglas Roy: (11:01 AM)
sorry I have to go have another meeting.
Ewan Mac Mahon: (11:03 AM)
It's a cloud object store
Christopher John Walker: (11:04 AM)
StoRM on top of Lustre
Samuel Cadellin Skipsey: (11:05 AM)
Yes.
David Crooks: (11:05 AM)
Sorry, I have to leave as well
