Sam chaired the meeting as Jens had driver problems which turned out to be
because of the somewhat dodgy webcam which was selected in the "self view" and
turned off the mike?!?


Operational blog posts

Welcome to Craig McNeile who represents Pheno/UKQCD.

Planning to setup grid, expecting ~100-1000 TB, with data in DE, IT, FR.
Applications built on SCALA.  Most data open.

Tom tested Ligo (separate thread, private), suggestions that problems are with
the networks in Cardiff and Paul should try from home on a laptop.  DiRAC
access at Oxford appeared to work but Ewan hadn't tried everything.  The
Oxford UI should be considered a reference point for testing, not a production
UI.  The process is evolving.

DiRAC client might be a bit "finicky"

AOB: new dpm-drain (Sam)

Still mike problems :-(
Agree
Thanks, Sam
I'll write the notes
Yes, welcome Craig
yes!
I think my mike is working again now. I switched the camera off!!!

I'm not clear if this in on ordinary EGI/WLCG kit and it's just the tooling that turns QCD specific dataset names into SRM URLs that's a problem, or something else.
Is it just that the equivalent of dq2 isn't maintained?
Also, I would think we should apply the principle from yesterday's meeting that someone from the GridP 'side' should be added to the VO.
Specifically Sam.
:-P

We should also move the email conversations to gridpp-support as soon as it exists.

... "The Imperial Endpoint" - sounds grand!
You can do a lot with OpenVirtualBox
Jeremy Coles: (10:28 AM)
I need to drop out now. Thanks Jens/Sam.
Jens Jensen: (10:28 AM)
Thanks, Jeremy.
... missing libraries should be relatively easy to fix...
Ewan Mac Mahon: (10:29 AM)
Depends if it's 'not installed' missing, or 'binary linked against wrong version' missing.
Tom Whyntie: (10:29 AM)
@Jens And/or making symlinks - sometimes it just points to the wrong location/library
