March 28, 2002 Agenda

  1. VDT support issues
    • mailing lists up and working?
    • RUST system in place at UW?
    • UTB query answered?
  2. GIIS for the lab
    • GOC (specifically ISI) will set up and Indiana will maintain
    • details for how VDT should be configured need to be worked out; volunteer?
  3. grid-mapfiles for the lab
    • same situation as the GIIS. GOC team will set up a server from which signed grid-mapfiles can be downloaded.
    • need volunteer to coordinate details about how VDT should be configured
  4. CA certificates for the lab
    • GOC team will again set up a server from which signed grid-mapfiles can be downloaded
    • "default" appears to be the DOE ScieceGrid ESnet CA, so need to get a copy and include in VDT
  5. Testing and Evaluation of VDT 1.0
    • Propose that each experiment representative download and install version 1.0 for evaluation, or assign task to somebody else in experiment
    • Report experiences at next telecon in two weeks.
    • CMS........Eric Aslakson
    • ATLAS......Saul Youssef
    • LIGO.......Scott Koranda
  6. VDT interoperability testing for the future
    • What type of testing should be done? Should it be automated or a checklist?
    • What exactly do we want to test?
    • How would testing by this group complement (or not) testing done by NMI folks and others?
    • How should results of testing be published?
  7. Proposal to have call weekly
    • alternate weeks between primarily GriPhyN VDT issues (development, packaging, ...) and iVDGL VDT issues (deployment, testing, ...)
    • goal is NOT to seperate GriPhyN/iVDGL but the opposite, to bring VDT work on both sides closer together
  8. April meeting
    • Sessions on "Deploying GriPhyN Solutions", "VDT", "VDT-EDG Interoperability"; can we have Ruth explain her vision for what these sessions will discuss?
    • What should this group have prepared for the April meeting?
  9. Question: Should we simply create a "VDT Working Group" that spans iVDGL/GriPhyN in the same way that the Outreach/Education Working Group does, and do away with this distinction between "GriPhyN VDT" and "iVDGL VDT"?
