Technical coordination group members and invited persons

22 January 2019, 14:00 - 15:02

Present: Balazs, David, Mattias, Maiken, Anders, Aleksandr, Oxana

= News =

Maiken: DM workshop: in Oslo, 27 of February, followed by the Rucio workshop
David: Rucio is planned to be used by CMS, CTA, smaller HEP experiments, neutrino and DM experiments, so outgrows WLCG. ARC6 on BOINC CEs had some issued, not critical, reported in gitlab - SELinux is the biggest problem
Mattias: some build failures in Rawhide, possibly related to GCC9 vs Swig, could get resolved with a Swig update
Oxana: there's a use case for point-to-point data transfer which might fit ARC data transfers, only the users don't want to use certificates, prefer token-based solutions
Anders: works on repositories (the structure is good, says Maiken), switching certs to Let's Encrypt, NorduGrid CA will probably drop from IGTF as there are very few certs; https is planned for www.nordugrid.org. Longer GPG keys will be used. Nightlies are building for the cleaned-up branch. 
Balazs: CE json schema work still goes on, not flat anymore - but not approved yet

= Support =

Web info is outdated, no clear support channel info. Community support: ng-disc and WLCG's ARC-CE list. Also GGUS should stay as the support system as well. Add Bugzilla for bug reporting.

= Bugs =

5 unattended bugs, nothing critical. Mattias takes 3778 and 3787 (3765 as well).
