perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Fausto Vetter <>]

Dear Mr. Xavier Jeannin,

I'd like to thank you for your initial requests on perfSONAR-MDM installation.

In the moment, the only documentation available is the one you have been 
using. It would be really great if you could send us feedback on this 
installation guide so we can always improve the quality of the documentation.

As in the moment we are working in the new version of perfSONAR, I will 
forward your request to responsible people, so these topics will be addressed.

Basically there is no formal recommendation as such in the moment, but as 
part of the new perfSONAR release that should be coming soon, we are planning 
to have such documented.

No you haven't missed anything actually. What I suggest is that we organise a 
kick off meeting and start discussing the deployment process for RENATER. 
Domenico has mentioned you are joining the early adopters and we would really 
like to support you in the process of getting the service up and running.

When would you be available for a call?

If I am not addressing some relevant point, please let me know.

Best regards,
