[Go-essp-tech] Revised Telco Agenda 2012-03-20

[stephen.pascoe at stfc.ac.uk]

Hi,

I hadn't anticipated that we are at the time zone change where USA moves 1 week earlier than Europe.  So, to clarify I will assume we hold the telco at 8:00 PDT (UTC-7), this being 15:00 GMT ant 16:00 CET.  If this causes a problem I'll also be available an hour later.

Cheers,
Stephen.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the agenda.

to be sure ... we're now on daylight savings time (PDT), not PST, so we're 7 hours earlier than UTC (Universal Time).

I'll try to join tomorrow,
Karl

Telco details

phone number: (925) 424-8105 access code 305757#, regular time: 8:00 am PST

Agenda 2012-03-20



  1.  Status and planning of upgrading all data nodes to P2P system (20 mins) -- (Luca)

  2.  Tools for data verification: Mitigating the risk of science being done on deprecated data (20 mins)

     *   a) Experience from current CMIP5 deployment on the user of checksums -- how can we improve the process. A quick overview of what we have now:

        *   publication of checksums

        *   verification in wget scripts

        *   visibility of checksums in P2P interfaces

b) Further tools

        *   verifying checksums after download. Can we extend the wget-script verification system? (Stephen / Estani?)

        *   proposal for dataset catalog hashes (Stephen)

  3.  User support during p2p transition (20mins)

     *   a) System Users - currently, most questions involve wget scripts, and non-working data nodes.

        *   What do we do with Help Desk and mailing lists ?

        *   How do we build a FAQ that is really useful ?

        *   Who is involved in answering questions ?

b) Data Node managers - questions concerning data node installation and configuration



Cheers,

Stephen.
