0. Development tasks:

Updated in Savannah. Following what we did the last week, we went through all the tasks with a number in the range 15335 - 16511.

It has been decided that starting from tomorrow, since Alexey will be here, we'll try to coordinate the work all together (regarding for example tasks 16511, 17556, and maybe 16839).

We should also relieve the ongoing certification activites from Stuart. The people in charge would be Peter.

1. Production Issues

2 things that came recently:
- discrete run numbers list has to be correctly undestood by the transformation system, instead of a range.
- at the moment it is not possible to define the maximum number of files to be used by a single transformation: there is just the possibility to define a global parameter that affects all the transformations

2. DIRAC Release Update

Proceeding slowly, mainly because a lot of reshuffles due to things that were difficult to test in development. Now Andrei believes that apart from the creation of the production, there shouldn't be any major problems. The direct submission to the CREAM CE was tested and seems ok.

3. DIRAC Tasks
Elisa: asking how to connect to the online machine that is running the RunDB monitor. The changes should be made in place.

4. AOB
Documentation: new repository instead of SVN. Should be discussed.

09:30 → 10:00 Ongoing actions

The task list is available via the Savannah DIRAC group ( Task List ). If you are not already registered please do so at the Savannah page. In order to streamline the time spent during PASTE on the actions list only tasks in the status 'ToBeDiscussed' will be discussed there. In case some actions fall by the wayside they will automatically be updated to this status. Therefore the action assignees should take care to update this. For ongoing actions it is advantageous to report any progress in the Savannah tasks each week.
