Follow-up from previous meetings

• Last BildX On Feb 1st
  • notes in https://demo.hedgedoc.org/g3afe6uqSwKas6ngvKdOkA
  • We cancelled the one of 22nd Feb
• Last DIRAC Hackathon: 2 weeks ago
  • NTR for today
• Last BiLD:
  • last week

Progress updates

• Restructure the auth endpoint PR merged
  •  Federico removed audience?
    • Yes, removed from the DIRAC tokens because right now it is not useful
  • Solving points from https://github.com/DIRACGrid/diracx/issues/30
• Christophe is going to ISGC to present DiracX. Some security experts will be around and some pen-testing will be done with them

Topics for discussion

• NTR

Release planning

•  Federico Looking at https://github.com/orgs/DIRACGrid/projects/2 I still see many tasks yet to be done.
  • expectations for a release date?
    •  Christophe can not give a date atm
  • how to accelerate things?
    • for the hackathon we will have some tasks ready to be picked up
  • from a hackathon testing point of view, something needed?
    • not particularly. What is installed on CERN OpenShift is by default the last version
•  Federico Do we really need to have DIRAC v9 together with the first version of DiracX ? We can simply disable DiracX in the DIRAC CS and that would be enough.
  •  Christophe true, but we don’t want that, because patch by patch we might add some new service

GitHub discussions

• https://github.com/DIRACGrid/diracx-web/discussions/categories/surveys
  • Got all the needed feedbacks
• https://github.com/DIRACGrid/diracx/discussions/175#discussioncomment-8543917 on job submission using CWL
  • A plan is layed out. The adoption will anyway require that the current DIRAC workflow are restructured, with DIRAC jobWrapper absorbing some of the current DIRAC workflow roles

Next steps

• Next DIRAC hackathon: Mar 21st
• Next Bild: April 4th, with DiracX part merged in.

We will then restart with bi-weekly schedule

• next DiracX hackathon: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1376672/
  • 9-10 April
  • as usual, do register to participate (Luisa and Natthan did it already)
