Minutes :

Chairman : Federico
Minutes taken by : Joel
Present : Zoltan, Philippe, Stefan, Vladimir, Kryzstof, Mario, Roberto, Rachid, Renato, Pete, Alexey, Andrei, Matvey, Ricardo, Marco C.

Introduction:
Fedrico present the goal of this new meeting and the structure. (see the presentation attached to the agenda)
The groups could have their own life and can organize their internal discussion as they want. The Contact person (cp in the document) should be present to the BiLD meeting.
By the way BiLD means Bi weekly LHCbDirac meeting

Devs Intrument:
SVN branches : see the link which presents with several approach. The "never branch" is the system used so far. The "Always-Branch" is what more or less what Ricardo presented,  What has been agreed during the LHCbDirac week is using the "branch for release". Ricardo is preparing a new document which will reflect the discussion. The main idea is that the trunk should be stable.

Development machine :
SLC4 went out . volhcb13 should be installed as dev machine where reservation is possible to develop new service/agent which could disrupt the normal running. While volhcb12 is more the trunk view, so more stable.
Some documentation could be provide to work on a standalone environment like a local PC/MAC.

Savannah proposal:
see the proposal and let's agree at the next meeting.

OutCome of the LHCbDirac week:
For each system the Contact Person presented the main topic.
Core :
New DISET in preparation presented during the LHCbDirac week

WMS:
Improve request monitoring and link to transformation system in preparation
mid term plan: work on the CREAM submission

DataManagement:
What do we do with the popularity presented by Elisa?
Historical of usage for the storage.
Consistency work LFC/BKK/SE

Resources
SAM : migration to NAGIOS
Resources : move from DIRAC to LHCbDirac

Production:
change in request page
possibility to make choice amongst large choice of options:


Bookkeeping
integration with new DISET

Certification
testing framework.

webportal:
move to new technology

Releases :
Dirac v5r13 : tested in python2.5 and 2.6 , tested with openssl 1.X
out in principle next week.

LHCbDirac  v6r3 nearly ready in production thi sweek
and v6r4 will be certified based on v5r13

AOB:
Pete would like to discuss the presenter view shared by shifter with the Dirac team
