  Hi All,

  The next meeting on xrootd development, testing, deployment and monitoring 
will be Tuesday, 5 October, 2004 at 10:15 CA, 19:15 Europe and 18:15 UK. The
location at SLAC is SCS conference room B. I'm not in Geneva at the moment
so anyone at CERN will have to call in on their own. 

  The connection info for this meeting is:

      o monitoring of xrootd versions and alarms when they fail the "Sesame
        Street test" (Should be possible after yesterday's restart) 
      o monitoring of total BaBar data (/store/PR, /store/SP, /store/SPskims,
        /store/PRskims, /store/users, /store/awg), #files and data volume
      o Updates to presentation
