EGI Infrastructure operations oversight

EGI.eu Operations Oversight Pages

EGI Grid Operations oversight of the e-Infrastructure is a co-ordination task for ensuring that GRID monitoring across EGI runs smoothly. This team communicates among the 3 groups - Operations and e-Infrastructure Oversight (OE); Operational Documentation (OD); and "Coordination of interoperations between NGIs and with other Grids".

The Operations oversight team works with the Tool Developers (and particularly the OTAG group), NGIs and their Operations Teams (ROD). There are regular phone meetings for the co-ordinators and others working in the tasks. The OE co-ordinators also organise face to face meetings for the ROD teams 3 to 4 times a year.

Co-ordinators:

Ron Trompert (Chair), Marcin Radecki, Luuk Uljee

Deputy:

Malgorzata Krakowian
