Actions Review

• No due actions.

Open Issues

• GRNET participation

• Mandatory Platforms? SL5 64 bits? A clear calendar is needed.

NOT DONE. Will become an open issues for the PEB or the PTB. For now all currently supported by the middleware are supported (separately). A process for adding new platforms will be defined at the PTB

Danilo will collect the platform supported by the different testbeds . UNICORE has only a server per service therefore only supports on platform at a time

• Platform for EMI0?

We should ask to the EMT. Maria will prepare the list of things to transfer to the EMT.

• Who is supporting the WN, UI, maui , LSF and other products? Who provides the resources?

WN and UI by SA1 EMT
NOT DONE for LSF, and batch system:. Need to become an open issues for the PEB or the PTB

• BDII with cross middleware resources ? (glite sees ARC CE, Unicore?)

• And some kind of "dteam" VO for testing services and testbeds? Are the certificates valid on all middleware? Some common trusted CA?

Anders reported that ARC confirmed that are using ITGF certificates and proxies. They resign the packages for Fedora and Debian.

Danilo will check whether some kind of common DTEAM VO can be supported by all middleware. And make a proposal that sites support this VO. WIll also check for later for the large scale testbed.

• All Hand Meeting end of September, early October (Prague?)

 - Software QA (Testing and Metrics) Task-force meeting last week. Attendence was poor.

 - We have expanded out the threshold, availability and metric calculation (formulas) for each metric.

+ Issues to Discuss

 - We need discuss/feedback from ARC, dCache and UNICORE regarding what they can provide in bugtracking. 
 - We know ARC has similar severity levels definitions (info from Oxana). Detection areas, bug states?

+ Steps Next Week

 - Define metric calculations and availability in internal metrics document v0.15.
 - Finish the bug tracking related metric descriptions.
 - Pass complete metric definitions to SA2.2.
