Meeting on 2009-12-04, 16:00 (CET) Notes

(1)
Report from OGF27 BES Session with PGI inputs
Morris & Johannes

first plan was not to go to OGF27
-> decided to go to OGSA_BES session

interesting session with about 10-12 people attending

discussion of the "meet in the middle" approach

JSDL people also at the session
work closely together with JSDL

JSDL instance schema
much mor richer JSDL
SLA people are driving it
"on-top" thing on JSDL (keeping track etc.)
first out of the focus of PGI

basically discussions about Morris' slides from the NorduGrid conference

session directory discussed long
single- and multicore processiong

Balazs:
progress of strawman rendering doc is important!
BES2.0, JSDL2.0 scondary point

Morris:
reference implementation
keep in one doc to make progress

resource sharing also discussed
- different shares in one BES

different ways how BES is deployxed in the different middlewares

from certain perspective PGI is BES in some way now because PGI
specificatiion will become BES specification
overlap with PGI of about 90%

It is very important to:
go forward with PGI til the OGI 28 in Munich in March - before the new
projects start!!

(2)
Plans for OGF28 in Munich: GIN Interop Day with PGI output
Morris
Interoperability day in Munich
whole day GIN and PGI session with presentations and discussions
reference implementation very likely in January

How to fill the day?
2 slots for GIN
other time for PGI

suggestions?
general PGI presentation
show reference implementation
2 GIN, 2 PGI
