Review of actions

• Action 17, 18: no update
• Action 40: (Lord) Demo of fault tolerance system in Heidelberg last week (18/11). FT tasks would like monitoring to provide more types than just string. (Olof)This is planned but will probably not be ready for the EU review. In the meanwhile a metric value format table will be provided. The task list for 2003 developments in the FT task is OK and KIP are now working on attaching timelines. The EU review Demo will include string compare and other enhancements in the rule editor. Lord hopes that this will be ready for the FT tutorial exercises at the WP4 hands-on workshop in December.
• Action 58: job repository foreseen for 2Q03. Thomas needs job repository for the accounting. The gridification task considers LCMAPS to be of higher priority. Thomas and David/Martijn will discuss how to solve this problem over Email and at the WP4 workshop in December.
• Action 74: no update. Thomas is in contact with Andrea (??) in WP1. Olof will check with Francesco if the WP4 accounting is needed for their EU review demo (Action).
• Action 76: Info providers delivered and used in the EDT-iVDGL demo at SC2002. Action closed
• Action 79: EDG has decided on RH731 CERN distribution. Action closed
• Action 81: no update. Thomas is looking at the Zambo document from WP2.
• Action 82: (German) handed over Andrey’s new schema to FIO group (production services) who is having a close look. They are happy with the global schema but want to change the template hierarchy. Lionel would like the discussion to go on to the mailing list. German said that FIO hasn’t yet provided written feedback.
• Action 83: Lord is working on the planning based on the task list developed together with Olof last week. Thomas will send his planning. David needs one more week.
• Action 84: All tasks has answered except for the Gridification task. David will check with Martijn.
