Apologies: Andrei

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: 
  • NTR
• DIRAC4EGI:
  • NTR
• Belle2:
  • NTR
• CNAF:
  • NTR

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)
