0. Happy new operational blog year! 1. Any storagey things for hepsysman next week? And volunteers to present them... 2. GridPP as a "data infrastructure" - (which can include any, all, or none, of what we do for the non-LHC VOs) 3. Future T2 revisited: Specifically, is there a role for CEPH and/or S3 interfaces in a non-negligible number of T2s? Alastair Dewhurst had previously reported on LOFAR finding S3 "easy to use compared to grid stuff" (but then S3 is not an open standard) And the status of testing at Oxford (with ATLAS^W CMS^W LHCb) http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/20151125-minutes.txt http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/weekly/20151209-minutes.txt 4. It's the end of the quarter (ie the end of previous quarter). Could Marcus, Sam, and Brian please send me the Usual Stuff™ that is not in the minutes of the meetings and not in blog posts (if anything) 5. AOB
