I think we need for LHC:

- to have a clear understanding about the layout of the T0-T1 centers, 
where exactly to place the different services and what information they 
need to provide. [JM, EB, NS, LK, JB, Erlangen]
(e.g. for T0 and T1 sites, the utilisation, errors and discard does 
cover the last routers, all the internal routers, etc Where to place the 
BWCTL tools: as close to the end-machines, behind the firewall, as close 
to the circuit ends. They all have pros and cons).
What MA to deploy and where? (1/2 day)

- List clearly the questions/information to be answered to the T0-T1 
sites + start answering them (2 hours) [JM, EB, NS, LK, JB, Erlangen]

-  Understand how to present the data and how to link what is seen as L2 
and at L3. (1/2 day) [MY/MH, JB, AH/DS remote(?), NJ, JM]

- clarify the different scenarios for Hades-owamp and the solution to 
provide. (1 to 2 hours) [JB, Erlangen]

- Progress/finalise the BWCTL schema (1/2 day) [JB, Erlangen, MS, JZ]

- Progress/finalise the Hades measurement methodology and the schema 
(1/2 day) [JM, JB, Erlangen]

- test inter-op Hades/OWAMP solutions + on-demand scheduler if not done 
before. (1/2 day)

- Visualising the data [NJ, DS/AH remote, JB, SLAC?]

- what's needed to be part of a perfsonar release for the ping MP and 
the L2 status MP: [MH/MY, SLAC, Release Management team]

- As the RRD MA and the visualisation is pretty much on track, it is not 
foreseen to have them as discussion topics (unless otherwise specified).

- Support contracts [NS, EB, ...]


Other:
- LS I would like to have Maciej, Jason and Martin to give an status of 
the mLS and the topics that needs addressing, so that we can define if 
we need to have a session on that topic.

-  Easing the perfSONAR web-service installation [Maxim, release 
management team, ?] : where to go and best practices to adopt

- perfsonar 3.0 release: status and next steps.

- perfsonar.net [LK, EB, NS]

- Review the collaboration and information processes

As there are some non-overlapping topics, for more efficiency, some of 
this work will be organised in parallel session.


So for the attendance (EU) we got:
- MY or MH [LZR L2 status]
- LK (?)
- One member of Release Management team (LK to define)
- Erlangen [BWCTL, Hades, visualisation]
- NS and/or ST
- PSNC (tbc)

We can send 6-7 people there. Could you please Loukik Erlangen, LZR and 
PSNC confirm the names of who can go there?

I am not keen on having this particular meeting open to anybody!
This is a developer working meeting and not a dissemination thing.


You are welcome to comment on those topics/add other ones of direct 
interest to you so that you can make this trip worthwhile.

Cheers,
Nicolas
