0. Op. b. p.

   No operational issues (hurrah!).  New blog post from Sam (hurrah!).

1. Sam's thing

   Sam is still putting slides together for CHEP (the one in Sofia); theme is caching in GridPP.
   Clearly reduced funding and other evolutions lead to more storage being used as cache,
   but cache still needs to be used intelligently.  Another side of the same evolution is different
   flavours of storage such as object stores.  And supporting more stuff on the same infrastructure,
   more communities (it would be nice if they wanted the same thing but not always the case), and
   also connecting infrastructures (or BYOC)

2. Brian's thing

   Brian reported an early discussion on dteam where the PMB would request a forward view for
   each of the work areas in GridPP.  Perhaps we should revisit our older ToR and related documents,
   in view  of the above evolutions.

3. Jens' thing.

   IRIS and that sort of stuff - covered during the previous discussions.

   Also one of the remaining todos for this quarter was to look at GOCDB for information systems (for
   storgae), based on Andrew McNab's suggestion in the most recent GridPP meeting (Pitlochry).

4. Anybody else's thing

   NOT
