20 August 2019, 14:05 - 15:05

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

== News

Maiken achieved a breakthrough on the OpenStack, related to hyperthreading. RHEL8 packages are ready to be built, CentOS8 is to be released soon, so packages need to be tested against CentOS8 as well. There will be ARC tutorial at HEPiX (Amsterdam) on October 18, and an ARC-CE pre-GDB (CERN) on November 19. Globus Toolkit is dead.


== Release

There are some merge requests, 6.2 should be coming soon (next week), but the accounting status needs to be clarified.

Release procedures: emergency releases fixing one single issue might mandate a third version digit (e.g. 6.1.1), release policy will explain the conditions. Procedures might deviate from standard ones as well, minimising amount of work.


== Bugs

Bug about job cancellation should be reported, Maiken will extract info from the chat. Gitlab issue on CPU/walltime needs some attention, otherwise one can get 100+ % efficiency.


== A.O.B.

Wednesday ARC6 development meetings are no more, but the slot is available for eventual other development meetings, e.g. once a month.

There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
