  Those raised were organised as

• ISS phaseout, SURE hardware upgrade, disk server
  reinstall,
• Tactical / Medium-term
• Tape repacking, AS service integration,
• Strategic / Long-term
• LCG integration, disk service architecture,
• Focus during the planning meeting was to steer
  the Group in the right direction in the key
  long-term areas.
• Sections seem to be working to tidy up
  operational issues. Thanks!

  statistics.

Projects Cross-Section Activities

• There has been a regular Tuesday meeting to plan
  deployment of quattor. Initial focus was for the
  migration to RH7 so the name, lxdev7, is somewhat
  misleading.
• Meeting will now be at 4pm on Tuesdays and better
  publicised. This will be the forum for continuing
  cross-section collaboration on quattor, Lemon
  Leaf.
