This is currently just copied from our last meeting.  will be updated soon...
Heavy on Library of Congress Issues today, preparing or phone call with them tomorrow.


* Status of Depot Monitoring Tools (Bobby)
* Status of FACIT-Globetrotter work (Santi, Chris)
** [http://monitor.reddnet.org/status.html New REDDnet Status Page] - work in progress!
** Description of whats to be done - Globtrotter/REDDnet integration
*** very similar to what Glovis is doing...
*** Webstart app for LODN requires certificate - Santi is getting
*** Chris will incorporate into their cvs to others (such as PR) can get it
*** PR would like to detach discovery from download - this woudl be powerful and this sounds like a start...
*** Justin at UCSB is working on the cgi scripts to interact with webstart, once that works they are ready to go.
*** UTK does want to do some testing...
** where are we on getting this done? 
** Phone call tomorrow with LoC, others
** UCSB is going to load about 800 GBytes of data into REDDnet to make available via Globetrotter, then if that works they might add a second one from Stanford - these have already been packaged up ready for use by Globetrotter


* Password protected page for cell phone numbers and skype addresses. (Mat)
* Status of TVNA work
** "l-sync" tool status (Matt)
** What would LoC have to do to get this going?


* Need to make a todo list for Library of Congress Work (Terry)
* Status of FACIT transfers
** we need a list to give to LoC so they know what they should be doing.
** "VM Depot" status - for LoC Depot  (Bobby, Matt)
** have we found out about their depot requirements?  (Bobby, Mat)
** Can they use "l-sync"?
** what do we want to ask tomorrow about these? (compile list of questions)


* SFASU tests (PR)
* Status of work at SFASU (PR, Diane)
** recursive uploads of 13,000 files in 82 subdirectories, about 2MB files, 25.6 GB total.  
** their asynchronous network issue seems to have fixed itself - routing from outside to SFASU was going via NLR, but traffic from SFASU out was going over commodity... but this is fixed.
** 2-8 MB/s speeds
** they want to try to make REDDnet relevant to USGS under new model of making data available for free to everyone.  wants to make REDDnet an alternate distribution method for this data.
** using l-store client
** Santi points out that a new version of the client that can do some parallel uploads will be available very soon.  They are using now but still working out a few bottlenecks.
** recursives ran perfectly
** they have a much large data set than this that they will start pushing soon.


* ORNL Depots (Bobby, John)
* Status of CERN depots
** new goal: 4th week of June is the new window
** Hardware procurement status
** best guess on when it will be ready to ship
** hosting, power, etc., arrangements with CERN
** installation plans
** shipping plans


* Status of CMS integration work (Dan)
* Status of CMS work
** Crab/REDDnet integration
** setting up REDDnet as a Storage Element (SE) for CMS - whats required, what we plan to do
** Once integration complete, plans for "transparent" use by CMS
*** they routinely submit jobs
*** jobs will run and use REDDnet without user even knowing or requesting
*** once this happens we can tout to CMS software gurus
** Plans for intentional use at Caltech, other places?
** root plugin plans (get it distributed with standard root distribution)


* PerfSONAR integration Status (Bobby, Martin)
* Terascale Super Nova Status
** Demo opportunity for SC08?


* Nodes for CERN (Bobby, Martin)
* Status of ORNL depots (Bobby, John)
** still in a wait state on security policy (ORNL has to decide on security policy...)


* Phoebus / Logistical Networking Integration issues (Terry, Martin)
* PerfSONAR integration status (Bobby, Martin)
** use GridFTP and use Dan's plugin?


* Terascale Super Nova status
* Evaluation of Jian's visualization stuff (Micah)
