Anjum is at UM. ~~He He does have access to the Internet from the Lab but its a shared place and he cannot attend meetings while in the Lab. For meetings, either he shall attend it from his home, or from the common room of the building.
- Johari proposes that UTM host a PingER workshop in 2014, maybe associated with another conference.
UTM volunteered to host the workshop last year. Due to the lack of funding from UTM, UM hosted it. Hanan believes the constraint is the budget. After knowing how can we fund the workshop, then we can decide who will the host the workshop.
Adib suggested a summer school that is aimed at graduate students and researchers from different disciplines where everyone needs to be present for team presentations based on case studies/assignments given to each team. Each team will be mentored by one professional researcher (from PingER Current Member) to guide and advise. The Summer School activities will include: Keynote talk, Presentations on current projects related to Pinger that open up challenges for students to solve and address, and case studies (assignments based on the presentations) for each team of students.
- Johari talked to Adib who is interested in hosting the workshop at UUM. They believe that with Anjum in Malaysia, the main cost is for Les. Johari shared the information from the previous 2 workshops and it is believed it is good value for money. Given this, it appears the funding required is achievable. There may also be a possibility for a presentation by Les to a more public audience at the ITU Research Center, as well as the possibility of getting sponsors and requiring a registration fee for private sector people. Adib will put together a proposal and take it to the UUM Vice Chancellor.

Ibrahim Abaker is planning to work on topic initially entitled " leveraging pingER big data with a modified pingtable for event-correlation and clustering", The purpose of this project is to make Pinger more efficient and more scalable to retrieve and analysis pingER raw data. consequently may improve pinger data store. He is planning to use key-value store model with high expandability and shorter query response time. The benefit of such project will help in the design of real time analysis and distributed pinger data across multiple servers for analysis. Les has sent him a pointer to documentation on the data flow at SLAC and also listings of pingtable.pl and associated script.

The Raspberry Pi is at the data centre, but due to miscommunication, the public ip which was previously assigned to the rasp pi unit has been assigned to another server. So now Johari has to wait for the ip to be reassigned back to rasp pi unit and give new ip to the other server. They suggested a new ip for the rasp pi unit but Johari wanted to have the old one so that we do not have to update the record at slac for the archival process, etc
The tool to enable synchronizing Malaysian monitors is completed. It provides the ability to add, edit and delete nodes. Raja has tested and after a mod was made to replace a private IP address it is working well. Badrul and Saqib need to try it out.
The traceroute server at http://pinger2.unimas.my/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl has the same problem as before. They know (sort of) the problem but haven't got the chance to rectify it (mapping NAT address, needs to be added). There is no progress 12/4/2013, 1/8/2013, 1.22.2014, 2/5/2014. Now that the historical traceroutes are working for UM (see below) there is an extra incentive to get the reverse traceroute working at UTM and UNIMAS
