FTS 2.2.3 deployment completed

On 25 March, all the Tier1 sites reported successful deployment of FTS 2.2.3. CERN (Tier0) also upgraded the service. The official LHC scientific program will start on 30 March, with 7 TeV collisions, so we were able to deliver and deploy in time. Mission completed :)

FTS at Belle experiment (KEK, Japan)

Nice to know that the world beyond CERN and the LHC Computing Grid also uses FTS. An example is the Belle experiment at the National Laboratory for High Energy Physics (KEK), in Japan. Belle studies the origin of CP violation phenomena, and their results lead to the Nobel Prize for Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa, in 2008.

Do you know about other applications of FTS, GFAL and LCG_Util? We would like to collect them, so in this case let us know please :)
