Apologies:

Follow-up from previous meetings

• Last BildX 3 weeks ago (Nov 16th) https://indico.cern.ch/event/1340725/
  • notes in https://demo.hedgedoc.org/GLU5QsQXRsCZ_792cQkPRw
  • Mostly talked about git workspaces and how releases will be made
• Last DIRAC Hackathon: 1 week ago
  • Ran with diracx installed (server and client). The diracx server exposes JobStateUpdate service.
  • Rather smooth, few issues to be addressed
  •  Daniela not so smooth, jobs are still failing to run properly
  •  Federico+Christophe there have been several changes done lately, the number of changes have been large enough to “justify” some disruptions. We think this be smoother from now on
  •  Federico I am planning to use GitHub Actions to run a “cron” that would constantly submit jobs (targeting “Jenkins” site). Such jobs would be later picked up by Pilots also running on GA.
    • comments: looks good, but maybe do it in another repo

Progress updates

• from previous meeting DiracX is now installed on CERN openshift against DIRAC certification
  • https://diracx-cert.app.cern.ch/
    • Andrei and Federico added to GridPP IAM
• from previous meeting Created a project board on GitHub for planning the first release
  • Not much movements

Topics for discussion

Release planning

• NTR

GitHub discussions

• https://github.com/DIRACGrid/diracx-web/discussions/categories/surveys
  • 2 VOs answered: LHCb and Juno
  •  Cedric Belle will answer too
  •  Natthan also CTA
• https://github.com/DIRACGrid/diracx-web/discussions/62 + https://github.com/DIRACGrid/diracx-web/discussions/63
  • how to create dashboards? 2 possibilities:
    • similar to what is now in DIRAC WebApp
    • through a sidebar
  • The discussion was mostly if a phone access is desirable. The partial conclusion is that it would be an (nice) addition, but not felt strictly necessary, at least not from an administrator point of view.
  • We are giving few more weeks to answer the “poll” about which solution is more desirable.

Next steps

• Next DIRAC hackathon: Jan 18th

• Next Bild: Jan 25th

• Next DiracX hackathon: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1343151/
