Will be the CEs mostly and Emidio is following it. - Open question: Can the testbed be used at the EGI TF for training purposes? Emidio is following the issue. - Documentation team will start soon. maria is organising it. - Presentations in Vilnius. Received the ones of Lorenzo and Eamonn but had no time to review them yet. EGI: - Had a meeting but no actions for us. They will review their QC into Acceptance Criteria. Their concept of quality mixes with requirements. Conferences - EGI UF and EMI TF joint conference. https://www.egi.eu/indico/sessionDisplay.py?sessionId=13&confId=207#20110412 - Participation from the task leaders - EMI All Hands Meeting.

TO DO LIST (medium term) - Reviewing the Metrics Generation Twiki: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EMI/EmiSa2MetricsGuidelines - Working on SQAP. - Working on QA report.
  - TSA2.3 – Metrics and KPIs Definition and Reporting 5m
    
    + Status and Progress - Presentation written for User Forum 2011. - Finishing Delay on Release metric. - Requesting inclusion of Bug Density Distribution. Looks very similar to a scaled BackLog Management Index. + Issues to Discuss - Status of cppcheck? + Steps Next Week - Include/request plots of any missing metrics.
  - TSA2.4 – Tools and Repositories Selection, Maintenance and Integration 5m
    
    + Status and Progress Service Maintenance: - Script to create up to 10 checkpoints in the nodes done, tested and put into production - Server disk space problem (in the production server). Solved - CVI problem investigation: sometimes the revert to checkpoint command gives a time out error and return to the incorrect check point. Log details sent to CVI people for more information. Infrastructure: - Creating a new template with capacity to be deployed in two modes (runAsroot/normal) - Monitoring scripts (still ongoing) Support: - One new external - 4 new external components for EMI - 4 GGUS closed - Problems reported by Oliver Keeble with gsoap_2.7 and voms-api versions solved QA: - Pylint plugin testing completed - Cppcheck plugin started - Cyclomatic Complexity metric, doings some changes to the plugin to be able to count the number of methods that exceeds the thresholds for cyclomatic complexity. - Improved bug tracker/EMI mapping - Added separate lists for failed/wrongly configured components in EU summary report. - Added backlog management time series chart. - Possibility to sort backlog management datasets based on the backlog management index. - Fixed references to figures and tables in EU summary report - Changed value axis to integer values where all values are integers. - Vilnius presentation completed + Steps Next Week - Release client 1.5.3 - EPEL RunAsRoot template
  - TSA2.5 – QA Implementation Review and Support 5m
    
    Delays of availability of ETICS ARC packages influence testing and verification activities. Time for testing is shorter (2-3 days) as was initially planned. For example, some of ARC EMI-1-RC2 packages are not completed on 29. March (ETICS problems with server, expected date is 30th March before lunch) so to perform testing and produce testing report we have only 2 days. + Issues to Discuss + Steps Next Week Preparation of contribution for 1th Technical conference.
