Delfino / UAB / LCG-ES Plans of Spanish Groups for LCG / LCG Launch Workshop7 Some (personal) concerns…. So many “national Grids” in Europe ? More and more coordination bodies & meetings: When will we manage to do any actual work ? Good to run your own things during prototyping, but for production would like to see Grid Services absorbed into a generic “Grid Infrastructure” where we only need to add LHC-specific hw and sw.
