0. OBP Unfortunately Tom wasn't available today after all; he got the dates wrong, so the advertised CEPH day report will have to wait till next week. On a related note, next week also has a GDB which (along with its concomitant pre) is mostly about benchmarking; however, Oliver has a slot on the Wednesday about the site storage survey - with "results, conclusions, actions", so another thing to look forward to. https://indico.cern.ch/event/739883/ 1. IanJ very kindly notified me that the writeup from the Rucio workshop in Sept. has been, er, written up. (cf notes from 20190918) https://indico.cern.ch/event/844100/timetable/?view=standard Included is a link to the "Rucio coding camp" which is in about a fortnight. 2. Catching up on backlog instead, what happened to any, all, or none of (a) xroot upgrades for ATLAS? (b) proxy cache monitoring? (c) token-based authorisation (anyone experiments using?) (d) DPM sites' DOME upgrades, (e) FTS race condition (did it go away? was it in FTS or layered above?), (f) DPM checksums ("fixed in 1.13") 3. AOB
