        Core & Framework 7m
        Speaker: Adrian Casajus Ramo (Departamento d' Estructura i Constituents de la Materia)
        - Task 16180: Still no answer to my last post
        - Core:
          * I'm working on the executors framework.
          * dirac-proxy-init can now do all that lhcb-proxy-init does via
        adding special switches to the CS. It can upload the proxy (and the
        pilot proxy) to the ProxyManager, add VOMS to the proxy, set a default
        user group... for DIRAC v6
        - Yesterday with the Monitoring: I just changed to dirac user, kill
        -9'd the last process (normal kill wouldn't do) and the new process
        worked nicely. I only modified a file to add a print statement before
        the kill -9. But after the restart, seeing that it was working
        properly I removed the print I had added and restarted again to stop
        leaving "junk" in the logs.

        DMS 7m
        Speaker: Ricardo Graciani Diaz (ICC, Universtat de Barcelona)
        in the DMS area there has been little progress in the last weeks, but we are moving ahead.

        - Elisa has the new Agents ready to report the historical usage of the Storage, and now it seems that there is some problem with configuration of portals to show the result
        - Krzysztof has been working in the direction of incorporating Transfer Agent functionality to FTS Agents for those transfers between sites with no FTS channels
        - Daniela is working on some error detection and recovery logic for the Stager

        - We have spend a lot of time debugging tails of Stage or transfer request getting into "strange states".
