Notes from Nov 17 Telecon

• 2x2-core machines (8Gb RAM) to virtualize
• Need a more organized testbed for services. Where to start? Need a framework for site functional testing?
• Small plugins to exercise service components. Percolate data out to central location. (E.g., understand impact on a server of various loads. Have mock users and mock operations.)
• Also take a peek at splunk. (http://www.splunk.com/)

• Rob's thinking about Zen: "Grid in a box" for functional testing and troubleshooting.

• Rob to provide list of key functional components; Paul to look at how to instrument.
• Paul to look at how to apply ODE to WS-GRAM. (Where to get WS-GRAM?)

• Come up with SOW to send to Maciej and bill Intalio.

• Some eye candy tools: http://www.eclipse.org/mylar/zest.php (looks new but promising)
