== News
Nothing ARC-related. CERN didn't make a decision on a future Linux yet, except that it will be an RPM-based distribution.
== Bugs
Nothing new bugs-wise.
== Release
Code freeze is proposed on June 4. No new AMS test results arrived, if nothing comes soon (to be checked), there's no point waiting. Release notes draft is prepared. Discussion on https://github.com/nordugrid/arc/pull/9
is ongoing. The release can be out on June 11. The need to change configuration for APEL contact point needs to be highlighted.
REST interface better be released soon, we need to create a readiness check-list, that would include ARC client, HTCondor, DIRAC, aCT, and links to other tests that were already made.
ARC7 will have only REST interface, no EMI-ES, so a very thorough testing is needed, as there will be no alternative. Besides, ARC7 will also have the re-structured control directory, which may turn out to have issues. Thus ARC6 should already have a production-quality REST, such that it can be used as a back-up if ARC7 has initial problems (the only way to ensure production readiness is to actually run it in production).
== AOB
NorduGrid Conference is unlikely to happen this year, but a F2F workshop in fall would be nice.
