- In Strasbourg at VOTech meeting.
- Progress on messages for clustering and spectra
- approval from MT and TB for IVOA note
- Interesting tool from Bruno...might help with SIAP service for SSA
- Information from Guy on secure SIAP - seems that TLS is the way forward, provided we can find a container that can deal with certificates.
- I've asked Pierre Fernique (deputising for Mark Allen) for a slot at the IVOA meeting - it seems they're not inundated with speakers at the apps IG.
- Marked MSc dissertation.
Actions Items:
--------------
(68.2) JDT to give an ROE coffee talk with a demo of AstroGrid
- maybe also including access to UKIDSS data.
[open: decided to postpone this until after registration of users]
(69.2) JDT to pass this up to Noel Winstanley and/or Kevin Benson.
[closed: see AG@ROE below]
Follow up: JDT to fix registry entries
(70.4) JDT to contact Guy Rixon to check that their plans for wrapping
STIL(TS) as CEA services are consistent.
[closed: JDT decided that the best thing to do would be to deploy here
a clone of the Cambridge set-up. STILTS can auto-generate the required
application description, so that it is possible to have the description
for the two installations being identical, which would enable JES to
pick on or other of them.]
Followup: JDT has now cloned the STILTS installation at the ROE. This is using STILTS' auto-generated app-description. There are a couple of minor issues: some of the description metadata is html-formatted, and doesn't play nicely with the Workbench, and one of the parameter types has been incorrectly specified. [the constant specifying the STILTS command]. One of the disadvantages of cloning the Cambridge installation is that we in Edinburgh don't get any credit - it's got IoA logos all over it.
(70.5) JDT to contact Phil Nicholson to ask about his plans for
a standard SIAP component.
[closed: see AG@ROE below]
Follow up: see JDT comments above.

IBM hardware
JDT mentioned that there had been an email circulated about the possibility of
some surplus IBM hardware becoming available on site soon.
Any news?
