minutes from 1/17 telecon
by Jim Pruyne 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Are attached. The next telecon will come after OGF in North Carolina. --- Jim Minutes from the December 20, 2006 GRAAP Telecon Attendees --------- Jim Pruyne Toshi Nakata Wolfgang Ziegler Discussion ---------- Using Toshi's spreadsheet from 12/26/06 Comment 12: Update from Oliver will correct this issue. Cardinality change doesn't seem worth doing. Comment 13: Oliver has a different solution to the problem that Tiancho suggests, but it seems to be simpler and somewhat more general. Comment 14: It does look redundant. Jim will look in to this one based on the wsdl from Oliver. Comment 15: agreed. We'll use the more consistent naming that Tiancho proposes. Comment 20: Supporting WS-Notification would require too many changes at this point, so we will not do for WS-Agreement 1.0. Comment 21: General agreement is that it is ok for this to be an SDT, but there can be some confusion of SDT vs. service properties. Comment 22: Perhaps we agree with this, but due to time we do not expect to be able to improve upon it. It is an example, so it is non-normative text, so it does not effect the specification's real purpose. Wolfgang will send links to implementation details (including wsdl) which Jim can put in to the document. When this is complete, we'll let the mailing list know, and give a week or so for comments, and then re-submit as complete. We are making the organizational change to remove Volker as a co-chair, and to list Phillip now as Secretary for the group. Toshi will help Wolfgang with slides related to updates since the last GGF meeting for use at the next OGF/GGF meeting in North Carolina.

Needs and requirements for Quality of Service in the Grid (BoF)
by A.S.McGough 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

All, At the last OGSA f2f meeting I was asked to arrange a BoF meeting at the next OGF meeting on Quality of Service. This has been arranged for OGF19 on Thursday afternoon at 4pm. I'd like to solicit support for this BoF in two forms. First of all requesting that people attend this BoF if they feel they have any interest in the area of QoS. The second is to seek people to present ideas at the BoF. The intention is to discover what if anything OGF should be doing about QoS. I'm keen for presentations on what people feel is needed for QoS and also people with existing solutions to the issue of QoS in the Grid. Please let me know if you have anything which may be suitable. Many thanks, steve.. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr A.

It's time once again for a telecon. OGF meeting is only a few weeks away, so perhaps it would be worth it to discuss activities there. There are also just a couple issues in the schema in the spec. to complete. Ideally, we can finish that. Finally, apologies in advance should I be a few minutes late. Please don't give up on me too soon if I'm not right on time. 9:00AM Central Standard Time US (GMT-0600) which should be: 10:00AM Eastern Standard Time US 1500 UK(?) 1600 Germany(?) 0000 Japan (sorry Toshi) Phone Number: 866-480-9967 in the US. 832-445-2343 for those outside the US. Conference code #8578310. --- Jim

telecon on 1/3

Happy New Year! Our last telecon was successful in managing many of the comments we have received. If people are available, I would like to continue making progress on these at our usual time and the new-ish usual number. Also, OGF meeting is only a few weeks away, so perhaps it would be worth it to discuss activities there. I know this may not work for some people, so if we don't have good attendance, we'll try again next week. 9:00AM Central Standard Time US (GMT-0600) which should be: 10:00AM Eastern Standard Time US 1500 UK(?) 1600 Germany(?) 0000 Japan (sorry Toshi) Phone Number: 866-480-9967 in the US. 832-445-2343 for those outside the US. Conference code #8578310. --- Jim
