== News

Hackathon preparations ongoing, setting up testing sites. During the hackathon, matching of tokens to local UIDs can be done through external callbacks, e.g. to LCAS/LCMAPS or suchlike, see http://www.nordugrid.org/documents/arc6/admins/reference.html#plugin. Validating token parsing in ARC is the first task, then it can be followed by mapping (http://www.nordugrid.org/documents/arc6/admins/reference.html#map-with-plugin) and authorisation. All known tokens should be tested. Different site-specific use cases should be considered, preferably collected prior to the meeting. The first use case would be to map all the hackathon participants to the test site :-) A Github hackathon branch will be created.
 

== Release

6.16 is ready to be tagged, all the branches are in a correct state. Unclear whether more commits are expected for ARC7, but it does not affect 6.16.

CentOS8 builds should be abandoned (outdated), in favor of CentOS8 Stream. Should be reflected in the Release Notes. Essentially, EPEL8 no longer imstalls on CentOS8, because the latter is stuck on an older RHEL.

New package plugins_ldap will be split from plugins_needed for ARC7, to be eventually dropped. ARC7 clients won't be able to submit to old interfaces anyway.

== NoduGrid meeting

A workshop on November 21-23 could be a possibility, to be checked with the potential hosts in Lugano.
