S.L.LloydGrid Steering Committee 8 March 2002 Slide 5 Recruitment Overall: Initially problems with EU Funded posts at RAL. Since then no real problems recruiting - mixture of academic and software industry backgrounds. Delays mainly caused by (University) bureaucracy.

S.L.LloydGrid Steering Committee 8 March 2002 Slide 9 EDG Testbed Status For EU Review of DataGrid on 1st March a Testbed 1.1 grid of 5 sites was constructed: –CERN, RAL, IN2P3-Lyon, CNAF-Bologna, NIKHEF. –The demos included jobs running at all sites and moving data. –This had the required functionality working but proved unreliable. An attempt will be made to make it stable in Release 1.1.2 –Then it will be released to more sites In UK we have a rollout plan that will start then. –Most sites plan to be involved in the GridPP Grid in some way. –Core UK sites at first will be RAL, Bristol, Manchester, IC where we have funded WP6 effort.
