0. Development tasks:
  We went through the bugs list, and those were updated in Savannah.

  Elisa asked more collaboration for her tasks (there is a long list of tasks).

  Philippe will go through the "support" tasks (that can be used as list of feature requests), and clean those that are not anymore needed.
 
  Handle CREAM CEs.
    Andrei would like to use a flag in the CS that set the possibility for the direct submission. Accounting problems should be also considered. It is reported in the pilot accounting, but the submission of the pilot accounting record is missing (this is understood, a fix will be made). Philippe would like to have accounting also at the job level. A 'submissionType' (or something similar) parameter should be added to CEs.
    Roberto confirmed that all the sites are asked to migrate to CREAM.
    Ricardo proposed to have the possibility to limit the number of running pilots. So throttling could be done also at the level of the pilots.

  Steps usage in production creation.
    New tests have to be done. In order to do that, a new pre-release of LHCbDIRAC has to be made (this would be v5r12-pre7) that includes the last tag with Alexey's fixes. Then we'll proceed.

1. Production Issues
NTR

2. DIRAC Release Update
  The next release will be in 2011. It has been proposed that the LHCbDIRAC release will be v6r0, since it will contain a major change especially for Book-keeping. Lots of things will have to change also for the web part at the point it will be deployed.

3. DIRAC Tasks

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.
