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

News:

Notes and presentations from NorduGrid 2018 in Garching available in Indico.
Everyone should read the notes and take note of action items.

Information about some earlier NorduGrid conferences whose web pages were
hosted outside NorduGrid infrastructure are no longer reachable.

Anders changed the wiki's host certificate from NorduGrid to Let's Encrypt.
The wiki redirects to https.
Some users have problems logging in.
The choice whether to log in or not is persistent for the session and
can not be changed without restarting the browser.
Anders wants to add a login / logout button, at some point.

Bugzilla issues should be marked resolved when a merge request for the
issue is submitted, and closed when it is merged.

David has been testing the REST interface. Works quite well, apart from some
problems with delegation. No performance tests yet.

Since documentation have not yet moved to git, changes should be made in svn.

Maiken submitted CHEP presentation for approval.

The "local" plugin was named "internal".
