# ARGUS Collaboration Meeting - 26/2/2016
## General News
NTR
## New Release
At CERN a new problem occurred and led to a reimplementation of the pool account mapping in the PEP server
* Several optimization done, in particular in the context of shared gridmapdirs: some caching introduced
* Caching configurable (can also be disabled)
* If not solving the problem, the only alternative is the database backend
* A problem in the way secondary FQANs are mapped to groups was also fixed (see https://github.com/argus-authz/argus-pep-server/issues/7)
* About to be tested at CERN in production
Packaging issues fixed on EL5, EL6 and EL7 for the last release
UMD4 integration: has started with the previous version (the version before the last fix)
* Need to contact Vincenzo to synchronize things
NIKHEF: developing a new PIP (Policy Information Point) able to
obtain the policy OID from the End-Entity certificate and add them
to the request as attribute values rather than writing complex policies.
In particular the OIDs signaling the type of CA (e.g. classic, mics,
slcs, iota, see https://www.eugridpma.org/objectid/?oid=1.2.840.113612.5.2.2)
are useful for the VO+CA bit, but knowing when an entity is e.g. a
robot is useful too.
* The goal is to have it as a standard ARGUS component
* Current source location: https://github.com/soviet0246/Argus-pip-module
* Current development based on UMD-3 ARGUS but no major problem foreseen for using it with new version
Documentation move to ReadTheDocs: almost done (right after the meeting!)
* Initial work is at git@github.com:jouvin/argus-documentation.git
* Current ReadTheDocs url is http://argus-documentation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
## AOB
Next meeting: April 15, 2pm
* May also take the opportunity of the EGI conference for a F2F meeting if enough of us are present
