Agenda for today's call

LoDN Status (Micah)

LoDN is about ready to distribute; expect it to be deployed here at UT this weekend for a little more in service testing. Some of the main improvements include

• More predictable warming – where to put copies
• A lot of work has been done on security. ssh-http connections, the same certificate for signing the code and using the service.

Should be packaged up and ready for distribution by Aug. 30th.

Annual Report Status (Paul)

Paul is just getting this started and will be calling on the collaborators for contributions.

User Reports

• AmericaView (PR)

TexasView is planning to demo both at the Fall I2 meeting, America View fall conference (Sept. 19th and 20th) Elements of the plan include the following:

• • Plan is to do what they did last year, but with more data. They need a few TB of space for this.
  • They want use data from other states, which makes it all the more critical that they get a more stable and reliable storage infrastructure underneath them so that they won’t be able to upload repeatedly. Repeated uploads just won't be feasible if other people's data is being used.
  • They’ll show speed of download.

What they need is a stable place to store the demo data, and they want their new depots in place for this reason.

   In terms of software, they need to look at the new L-Store code and API. The Vandy team reported that there were few, if any, changes to the API, so the TexasView software should still run. 

It was noted that there was enough in place to start using available depots. All the Vandy depots are available for them to test with. Duration is set to infinity. Their depots have been ordered. Capricorn has it and will ship them to Vandy, probably end of next week. Santi will post information about using this infrastructure on the list. Google maps API to do the display:

• VOIC/Peru (Santi)
• Vanderbilt TV News Archive (Alan?)
• CMS/RHIC (Dan)
• FACIT (Terry/others)
