    Follow-up from previous meeting

    • Glue2 support added in v6r19
      • works "fine", for all resources advertised, but CERN recently changed something in what they publish, so now it doesn't update the OS correctly -- the OS is in the CE section in the CS, while it should maybe be in the Queue sub-section 

    Current situation

    DIRAC

    • NTR

    WebApp:

    • a couple PRs to be merged
    • v4r0 looks "ready", won't depend from any specific DIRAC release

    Pilot:

    • Pilot3 is optional for v6r20 SiteDirectors, using a flag
      • Not tested yet. What's tested is that Pilot2 are still submitted.
      • Currently Pilot3 files are uploaded to the web portal

    Externals:

    • NTR

    LCG bundles:

    • v14r1 in testing
      • All looks OK for SLC6
      • CC7 version does not include M2Crypto [to be fixed still]
    • current production version is still v13r0
    • DIRACOS: minor progress
      • its repo will be moved to Github

    REST:

    • NTR  

    BOINC:

    • NTR, docs still need to be completed

    PyGSI:

    • NTR

    Documentation

    • Several documentations updated
      • Zoltan reports that accounting documentation also needs an update

    DB12:

    • NTR

    Release planning, tests and certification

    Release planning:

    • v6r19 series
      • NTR
    • v6r20 series
      • Should be ready ASAP
      • FTS3 monitoring was forgotten, included now
        • still some issues that Chris will address ASAP

    Certification process: 

    • v6r20 certification: 
      • Last checks ongoing, Andrei found few more issues to address

    Weekly development(s) focus

    • A discussion arised about:
      • if the OS in Resources/Sites/CE section is used or not: Federico thinks not
      • if the OSCompatibility section needs to be kept updated
        • probably yes, but not sure for vanilla DIRAC, need to re-check

    DIRAC: current PRs and tasks being worked on, or topics from Google forum

    • NTR

    DIRAC communities roundtable

    • GridPP:
      • [see pdf attached]: issues with "invalid proposal" errors increasing with number of users
      • a solution is coded, but imperfect as of now
        • It would speed up things considerably, but ForwardDISET operations would fail
        • Simon and Chris will look at it during the workshop next week
    • BES: 
      • NTR
    • ILC:
      • NTR
    • LHCb:

    AOB

    • Yash joined as GSOC, just started this week
      • in addition to the project's goal (use ElasticSearch for Job Parameters), he wants to make sure that the code written will be python3 compatible
    • DUW agenda final
      • always bring your ID with you
      • we can't be there before 8 nor after 18:20
        • one of the themes will be for how to handle productions
          • and hopefully coming out with a common plan
          • Luisa created an RFC and would like to discuss it
        • another theme will be data management for the experiments
          • there will also be a presentation from Rucio
            • we just need to prepare for possible integration questions (not suggested and not supported)
        • Ops hackathons being planned
          • One will be a TS hands-on
          • Various users being contacted
    • Next BiLD-Dev meeting will be held in 3 weeks (June 7)

    LHCbDIRAC

    • Nothing specific To Report
    • Louis work is ongoing, mostly right now is about understanding DIRAC's internals
      • tornado not compatible with proxies yet -- due to an SSL "missing feature"
      •  Chris opened an issue on tornado github, for using M2Crypto (they agree, but no immediate reaction)
