0. Review of actions (see below)

1. Hot off the press.  Problems with FTS coexistence with srmcp?

2. Post GGF report on storage (Jens)

   Including DPM news - 1.5 is out.

3. dCache

   Volunteer to install and/or test latest versions?

4. Information provider

   GDB issues with GLUE	storage

   QoS discussion, status

   See Graeme's eloquent email:
   http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0602&L=gridpp-storage&T=0&O=D&P=1752
   and
   http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0602&L=gridpp-storage&T=0&O=D&P=2215

5. 10 easy storage questions (Greig's idea...)

   Suggestions...

6. SRM 2.1 tests

7. Site hardware recommendations

8. Other post CHEP items.  These were the items we noted:

	- Quotas for VOs;
	- Closing a GridFTP door;
	- Use of tables in postgres database;
	- Splitting postgres database;
	- dCache publishing into R-GMA;
	- Enable logging for srmCopy;
	- Benchmark filesystem/kernel/tuning for pool nodes;
	- Automatically moving data from "fast" pools to slower.
	- Draining an SE as an issue (SE shutdown).

   I seem to have mislaid the email where Greig tells me whether he is
   still in India.  But if he is, I still have his summary.

9. xrootd for dCache?  Greig reports there's a door.  Do we need it, is
   anyone using it?

10. AOB
