Since today's meeting is canceled, could people circulate short notes on the usual items? Cut and pasted from last week's minutes:
1. DQ2 Status/Web Proxy
2. Tier-2 Hardware
3. HPSS/gsiftp/xrootd
061108 Richard Discuss with SLAC Security longterm approach to ATLAS VO
Thanks!

> -----------------------------
>
> 9am, SCCS Conf Rm A, to call in +1 510 665 5437, press 1, 3935#
>
> Present: Stephen, Richard, Wei, Chuck, JohnB, Charlie, Randy, Booker
>
> Agenda:
>
> 1. DQ2 Status/Web Proxy
>
> Has been running fine.
>
> Have been transferring user data for Tau group work to SLAC. Did
> need to restart DQ2 to notice that the data was at BNL instead of
> just on the LCG.
>
> 2. Tier-2 Hardware
>
> Have the list of hardware we want. Waiting for Sun to
> give us their
> best offer on it. A week ago were told by Sun to suggest what we
> were expecting. Gave them this aver the weekend and hope to hear
> from them soon.
>
> Note from Persis that as there is no budget cannot make
> commitments.
>
> The order has been held up waiting for it to match with other SLAC
> purchases. There is the Tier-2 Workshop in about a month, would
> have been a good time to show something about the hardware being
> used.
>
> BaBar usage hasn't been 100% so we have been able to use
> some batch
> capacity for ATLAS.
>
> Believe that John knows where to put it and power it. Everyone is
> being told that things will need to be moved around later in the
> year, so expect interruptions.
>
> 3. HPSS/gsiftp/xrootd
>
> We have a module to allow gsiftp to interact with xrootd. It
> functions well but we've uncovered several other problems with
> xrootd, don't believe these are show stoppers or hard
> problems. Some of them are small bugs. The behaviour is slightly
> twisted. Need to talk to Andy, may not be able to do that till he
> comes back from CERN. Andy should be at SLAC on Friday
> then goes to
> CERN for two weeks. Will probably do two weeks later and
> will be at
> IN2P3 for a week in early March. He will be at INFN also. These
> are groups who have had a formal request from the experiment.
>
> We are at the point where we could setup an endpoint and start
> using it but we don't have hardware. Hope to setup one machine
> before the March meeting. The behaviour will be different in a
> cluster environment and we will see these issues
> mentioned above in
> that case.
>
> Jim Shank and Torre Weanus will be at SLAC the 12th
> March. They are
> interested in having ATLAS work better and Jacek told them about
> PetaCache. Should think about how we make their visit as
> productive
> as it can be. Not sure a demonstration would be useful but having
> things working would be good, should have some Tier-2 hardware
> online by that time.
>
> 4. AOB
>
> None.

> Action Items:
> -------------
>
> 061108 Richard Discuss with SLAC Security longterm
> approach to ATLAS VO
> 061115 No information.
> 061213 Nothing happened yet.
> 070103 No information.
> 070110 Richard & BobC in Denver, Stephen will email them.
> 070124 Don't know the status.
> 070131 Don't believe this happened.
> 070207 Have not done this. Randy has talked to Heather, didn't
> have any time to comment today but she is aware about
> it. Will treat each VO as an enclave, if you are using
> anonymous accounts need to be able to show how ran a job
> and when. The main issue is that VOs are not legal
> entities and anyone can declare themselves a VO. Would
> need to actually test that the required information can
> actually be found.
