Administration
Adib is waiting to hear from colleague (Dr. Nordin: chair of ISTT2014), there was no update as of this meeting. The conference is 2 days so the workshop may be squeezed to one day. The conference will be held in Langkawi between 24-26 Nov.
Hopefully, this will help us to attract good number of participants and get sponsor/support to cover our expenditure. Other option is to conduct the workshop in UUM, we are ready to provide Local Arrangement (lab, local transportation, and food). But there is no funding provided by the school to support the transportation/accommodation of the speakers.
- Anjum will try and contact Adib. Anjum is also putting together a conference on cloud computing in November. We do not have a particular date. Anjum believes it is possible to co-locate the PingER workshop with this conference. The emphasis would be on PingER as a source of Big Data. This could also involve Bebo, Ridzuan and Ibrahim.
Adib is trying a number of options and there is some progress.
Anjum talked to his supervisor. He is showing revived interest in PingeR. He was busy the day Anjum talked to him. Anjum will have another meeting with him on Friday to further discuss the possibility of combining the conference with workshop.
Les will be in Burkina Faso Nov 13-21. He flies back to London on Nov 22nd. He can get to Malaysia mid morning November 24th. Thus the workshop should be at the end of the ISTT2014 meeting if Les is to attend.
- Bebo will be Western Australia, Okinawa and possibly Singapore in November. Bebo will send his expected dates/itinerary.
- Anjum suggested putting together a paper on metrics provided by PingER for Sigmetrix. The due date is in November.

Les has reviewed the Malaysian Case Study and sent suggestions. Saqib will incorporate. Saqib met with MYREN who have made many topology changes. Saqib will also incoportate incoporate these into the Malaysian case study.

Kashif reports the following are now fixed:, but report a problems with accessing the httpd file on the latter two. However, this does not interfere with their correct working. We will remove the error message.

There are also several sites that seem to have power problems and are often not available at the normal early morning (Pacific time) gathering time. We have added extra gathering times for a couple of sites.
Kashif is working on the rest of nodes. He plans to have 3 or 4 more up and running this coming week.. Among those, may be the following that have not responded to gathering data in the last month are:
...
Then we will decide whether to disable the remaining non-working monitors.
Raja
Raja has improved improving the GUI for TULIP. In particular visualizing the intersection region (showing both the minimum and maximal circles), showing landmarks, adding Google analytics. Raja has added undns (a tool for guessing the location from the router name) to TULIP and also to VTrace. It is not very successful, its heuristics are outdated (last update 2005)
PingER at SLAC
Les requested an update from Yahoo about TULIP's geolocation. They answered "We are very much interested in getting IP triangulation at internet scale, we will have internal sync-up on how we can leverage this initiative if there is rate limit and get back. Regarding opening up yahoo sites for deploying ping server requires some more time to discuss this with relevant stake holders with in yahoo." No word, sent a reminder 5/19/2014. No response 6/4/2014.
