== News

ARC6 workshop/retreat preliminary programme is being prepared.
CE info schema agreement is getting delayed because CREAM is also in the picture.
Aleksandr is unhappy with the level of detail of config blocks definitions, will be discussed on the Wednesday meeting.
David was checking bugs, also involved in the thread about Condor held jobs and reported bug #3753: people want ARC to ignore them.
If ARC5 is to be updated to fix the Condor issue, packaging updates by Mattias should also be applied. All together can be a quick hotfix. Maiken sees it as very positive.


== Release

Infoproviders fix is merged but not tested yet. Alpha release can be out now-ish. Test case templates are needed, Balazs will resurrect what he had. 

Aleksandr suggests that make install should not install arc.conf to avoid problems with overwriting; arc.conf should only be installed by packages. To be discussed on Wednesday.

Maiken tests (old) installation instructions, some adjustments are clearly needed when it comes to server certificates, especially when servers are in VMs.


== Bugs

* 3752: a good example of a poorly defined config block, the bug stays open pending better definition
* 3750: is taken care of
* 3749: some protection should be added, bug renamed
* 3740, 3741: Martin should take care of those


== ARC6 developers and sysadmit retreat

Balazs plans to announce it later today, location needs to be clarified. Some developers can start a meeting on Tuesday already, but official start will be on Wednesday, and end on Friday noon. First draft of the schedule is made.

There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
