Topics for ITSR Meetings

Are there any requests for improvements on existing services? performance, functionality? if not, IT will assume everyone is very happy

What about requests for new services? Axel:  everyone uses a public service to keep data accessible on

all devices (mobile) i.e.  Dropbox, iCloud, Googledrive It would be nice if CERN could provide a 'Dropbox service’, that

would allow us to keep our data within CERN, on CERN-controlled resources. 

We may be asked to present a proposa is it easy to formulate real requirements:

security? reliability? accessibility (24x7), performance?
