Attending: Luke, Jens (chair+mins), John H, Winnie, John B, Daniel, Marcus, Sam, Govind, Steve

Apologies: Brian (=hols)

0. Operational blog posts (including Govind's question on DROP TABLE CNS_FILE_METADATA ; )

   Govind lost connection at the relevant time but should report whether his problem is solved?

1. Last minute items for GridPP (note that I won't be there myself as I've got the week off). Jeremy called for information on VOs.

   Sam is putting together slides based on the futures document; separate discussion today on any remaining issues in the document.

2. The thing in September.

   Aka Oliver's pre-GDB on data stuff.  Brian is going; however, Brian is on hols this week.

3. And the other thing - the WLCG workshop? which Marcus is not going to?

   Alastair Dewhurst and Ian Collier are going to this; while the agenda doesn't have much storagey (see Marcus' link below) at the moment,
   Mssrs Dewhurst and/or Collier could report back on anything interesting.

4. A data transfer workshop with Oxford?

   We noted Diamond Light Source will be presenting data transfer with GridFTP at the coming RSE event.
   Climate data also needs transferring; the recent(ish) JASMIN workshop demonstrated that (and that they roll their own, of course)
   Would also involve EUDAT and maybe other data infrastructures.
   Indigo DataCloud now has a product?

5. Storage plugfest with EGI?

   In Florida, 19-21 Sep but remote participation quite possible (and free).  Aiming to demonstrate plugging things together
   (www.cloudplugfest.org) so any such storage-related work may be of interest - but also focus on CDMI.

6. AOB

   No standalone storage meeting next week.
