<p>== News</p>

<p>Work on REST progressed despite the viruses, everything got redesigned to better support bulk job submission, yet to be implemented. Authorisation of info queries will need a new configuration block to enable/disable it, separate from already existing job access authorisation. There&#39;s a concern that people authorised to submit jobs won&#39;t be authorised to see info in case something goes wrong with configuration.</p>

<p>Debian 10 and CentOS builds are being tested.</p>

<p>Some discussion about future ARC funding, need to attract new communities and also NeIC projects that are already engaged .</p>

<p>Infrastructure at NBI is being reorganised, hopefully will finish soon.<br>
&nbsp;</p>

<p>== Release</p>

<p>The finishing jobs bug (#3841) fixing fell victim to the virus, so the release is postponed.</p>

<p>Condor back-end situation: Python LRMS back-end is strongly coupled to SDK, and information part is largely missing, so the framework needs to either be rewritten, or dropped altogether, since everything can be done via bash, even calls to Python API of Condor. The situation with the developer is not clear, but perhaps he can be a tester.</p>
