2. Grid Deployment Board – 10 February 2004 - 2 GD LCG Workshop Working Groups From code change to release –Process for the chain from bug fix/ extension over integration, testing, certification and packaging to release distribution. How to tune the process to get best cooperation/sharing between the sites and ensure some level of quality? Who "owns" which part of the process. Storage in LCG2 –With strong participation of the experiments Information System & Monitoring –One solution for both? Which solution? How could a transition work? Questions concerning the schema should be addressed here too. Documentation –Writing the LCG cookbook. What has to be covered? How can we do this as a joint effort. The aim is to start collecting all our little bits of documentation and create an integrated handbook out of this. How to keep it up to date. System manager bonding session –Suggested by John Gordon to get the site managers into closer contact. The weekly phone conference is a start, but nothing compares to direct interaction.
