- ran tests (MC production jobs) but still https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/pull/7589 should be addressed
Belle2
Hideki
- Moved to v8

GridPP:
Simon, Janusz, Daniela

Topics from GitHub/Discussions

Daniela and Simon are going
(Daniela has now agreed to act as an enforcer to IAM issues raised by Chris. Chris to supply list of issues.)
only un-answered topics with discussion updates:
- To sychronize user list from IAM?
- Transformed into issue https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/issues/7416 and draft PR https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/pull/7612
- Christophe there are still syncronization issues between VOMS and IAM
- Daniela we have ported VOMS to Rocky9.
- this might become a “temporary” solution in case issues with IAM are not solved on time
- problem with dirac-proxy-init
- needs further info
