== News

No luck with Europrojects yet, but Nordic Tier1 finally got the Consortium Agreement signed, which constitutes a formal framework for its existence within NeiC. Ubuntu 20.04 builds on 32bit are problematic. An extra option for moving files between caches is being developed. Collecting failures from sites would be useful, since aCT obtains some error codes.


== i386 Ubuntu buids

Some dependencies are dropped in Ubuntu 20.04 for i386, so we either have to rebuild them, or drop support for the platform. The decision is to drop support for Ubuntu 20.04 i386, to be reflected in the release notes. Same goes for Fedora 26 and EL7 onwards.


== Release

AREX crashes are being investigated, there's also an apparent issue with data staging. Fixing these would mandate a release in June.


== Bugs

Next meeting (June 2) will be dedicated to chasing obsolete bugs

#3927 might be a major one if indeed VOMS XML API is deprecated, investigation is needed

GGUS is sometimes busy, a co-manager might be needed.


== A.O.B.
