Technical coordination group members and invited persons

2 May 2017, 14:00 - 14:45

Present: Oxana (until 14:15), Maiken, Mattias, David, Aleksandr, Anders (from 14:15)
Apologies: Balazs

== News
- 5.3.0 crisis meeting happened. List of actions were sent to ng-discuss
- New nagios probes were sent to central nagios server, fixes should go in next official arc release.
- Maiken works on builds for intermediate 5.2-5.3 commits, to be tested on Oslo production CE
- 5.3.0 is blocked from proceeding to EPEL stable. Awaiting a new version to supersede it
- arctest -J1 stopped working because ftp.nordugrid.org (which hosts input files) was decommissioned. An http server on the same machine can be used instead. The test job descriptions should be made independent of ARC binaries, eg in client.conf instead.
- Nightlies for configuration branch should start soon (maybe tonight)
- Aleksandr committed some memory leak fixes in credential code
- David works on removing credential dependency in data staging which should improve performance

== Release
- Top priority is investigating problems in 5.3.0 for quick bug fix release, no deadline yet
- Configuration restructuring continues in background

== Bugs
- 3585: resolved LATER
- 3650: Florido is helping
- 10 year old bugs: look at them later

== AOB
- NG conference: speakers are getting settled, there will be a Code Refinery talk. 

There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
