PTB meeting, 10:10-11:44, 17 January, 2012

0) New Year Welcome
Balazs welcomed everybody back. He hopes 2012, as the last real EMI "development
year" will be a smooth ride :)
i) EMI 2 RC status
Cristina informed PTB about the general status of EMI-2 code base:
RC1 did not go well. Not all configuration was provided. There are still missing configurations. Build success rates as of 14 January: SL5 80%, SL6 60%, Debian 41%
Not even the "core products" are building. E.g. VOMS has problems on some platform.
Today Cristina closes RC1 and prepares a repository containing whatever is available from RC1.
Then, immediately, RC2 preparation starts, ETICS config opens. Next deadline 1st February.
ii) EMI 2 dev status
Jon provided the following summary of the EMI-2 devepolment task status:
There are 271 tasks and objectives for EMI 2 of which:
67 done
95 ongoing
71 not started (porting tasks)
3 on hold (depending on some others)
24 problematic (most of those are high priority)
2 no response
iii) Development priorities:
The following products, activities were highlighted as TOP activities during the "vision" meeting:
EMI-ES
STS
GLUE2
common libraies: datalib, authlib
EMIR
Everything but datalib will be part of EMI-2, some of these will only be a "prototype". The datalib will come as an EMI-2 update
Everything, including datalib must reach a "demonstrateable" state by the Year 2 review (12 June)
iv) Product Team changes
- gLite Jobmanagement
Marco and the glite jobmanagement PT proposed to split the PT into a CREAM and a WMS PT. Balazs suggested to do the split only in Year 3. PTB was asked to vote on the proposal: "do you agree splitting the glite jobmanagement PT starting with Year 3?" PTB members unanimously said yes.
- DGAS
This PT has been closed down as part of the "vision meeting" decisions. From now the APEL client should be presented as the "EMI accounting client".
- wnodes: This PT was created as part of the "vision meeting" decisions. The PT will release already existing product under EMI-2. No development tasks (yet). This should be a small PT when it comes to efforts.
- "integration" PT of the orphan products
The long pending PT of the "orphaned" products have been discussed. The following setup was agreed:
PT name: emi common
leader: Cristina
members: Anders Waananen, Unicore ?, Christian Bernardt, Ricardo Rocha
products: EMI-UI, EMI-WN, glite-yaim-core, torque server config, torque wn config, emi-nagios
v) EGI Requirements for the next TCB
EMI must provide statement of solution for a set of requirements. See the data ones attached.
PTB fully shared Patrick's view: "we are seeing the overhead of not talking to the customer directly.".
This message to be communicated at PEB level.
The deadline for the SoS is 6 February.
vi) PTB work planning for January/February 2012
The most important PTB work foreseen for January/February:
-There'll be dedicated phone meetings to process requirements. Balazs will prepare a similar raw material, listing all the submitted/received requirements.
-The requirement assessment should wait for the requirements coming from EGI and from WLCG (the WLCG-TAG reports are expected on 7th February).
-PTB (area leaders and TD) have a couple of deliverables to prepare and agree on the Y3 workplan. A dedicated meeting (next week Tuesday) is proposed for the deliverable planning.
-PTB must go through all the submitted tech reports, consolidation plans in the coming weeks. It'll be done via e-mail. One document at a time.
vi) Approval of area tech reports, documents:
--Approval for the XACML and SAML profiles
--many others
see above
vii) Tests (the new KPIs)
- standard compliance tests:
security area: no manpower to define and write tests for standard compliance.
-integration tests:
these must be defined by an integration task force. the task force creation was agreed in Padova, unfortunately no follow up happened.
all in all: PTB should try to achieve the target values of the KPIs. Jon will be on it :)
- AoB
- John complained (rightfully) about dependencies of development tasks. A case when a development is held back because some external dependency is not available. Balazs suggested to put those dev tasks on "hold" and clearly comment on the external problem.
ACTIONS:
- Jon and Balazs: Implement the PT changes in the EMI twiki (DGAS, wnodes, emi common, also CREAM, WMS)
- Cristina: to add a wnnodes product release task to the release tracker
- Balazs: make sure the next week PTB is dedicated to deliverable planing
- Balazs: send announcement, info about the EMI Common new PT
- Patrick: deliver Statement of Solution for the three data tickets by 6th February.
