Last-minute CANCELLATION of today's conference call
by Michel Drescher 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Dear all, Due to a last-minute clash with a "higher priority" demand on the usual teleconferencing system, and many usual participants being on workshops or return trips, we need to cancel today's conference call. Apologies for the late notification. Cheers, Michel -- Stichting European Grid Initiative (EGI.eu) http://www.egi.eu Mobile:+31 (0)6 303 726 55 Skype: michel.drescher.egi

reminder call in 3 hours
by Michael Saravo 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Just a gentle reminder we will be starting our JSDL calls back up in approximately 3 hours (8:30 am eastern time). Today we would like to talk about preparations/attendance at the next OGF in Oxford. Also I would like to gauge interest in the current set of requirements and see if anyone is willing to take it on as a task for themselves to come up with example profiles/renderings that meet some of the requirements. I still have a tracker/action item for me to add a couple requirements after parsing a document which I will try to do before the call. I think it would be a good goal to have a couple actual jsdl changes or profiles at OGF to discuss. --Mike

requirements from BES/JSDL document to discuss on the call ( in about an hour)
by Michael Saravo 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Sorry if the last follow up email caused confusion, it should not have been titled call in 3 hours, that was a reply to the original email I sent. I have parsed the document that I had a task to do and below is what came out. I would like to discuss them briefly on todays call to get feedback and then I will create tracker items for them. unique-name attribute, This is currently supported by GenesisII in the resource request element It is used to group jobs, currently to manage a Scratch filesystem which prevents duplicate files from being staged multiple times, but in the future the use could be extended (to scheduling for instance) Wall clock time restriction **currently in posix not resource requirements matching parameters name/value pair that a job can use to indicate arbitrary properties to schedule on requires/supports Profile that implements OGSA-WSRF-BP, all BES attributes are there for interoperability We need a way to determine what staging protocols a BES supports before scheduling (possibly related to the above). --Mike

A Happy New Year - and with refreshed energy into a successful 2012
by Michel Drescher 12 Jan '12

Dear all, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year, and may your good intents for 2012 come true. :-) The new year just begun, and activities are picking up momentum again after well-deserved vacations. To join the bunch I would like to pick up again with JSDL, realising that OGF34 is already waiting for us in the near future. To kick off our activities for 2012 I would like to resume our weekly conference calls starting next week Thursday 19 January 2012, dedicating it to preparations for OGF34, and a plan for what we would like to achieve this year. Cheers, and a toast to a successful 2012 for JSDL, Michael and Michel -- Stichting European Grid Initiative (EGI.eu) http://www.egi.eu Mobile:+31 (0)6 303 726 55 Skype: michel.drescher.egi
