== News

• Halrik (Hanseatic Science Cloud) project needs unambigous user mapping, for personalised authorisation and eventually accounting. ARC-CE has lost this functionality.
• HEP/HPC strategy workshop: no clear outcome, lots of politics and still old-school access, with only some ideas regarding federated identities.
• ATLAS s/w week: some discussion on storage tokens: very many possibilities exist even within ATLAS, no clear workflow is defined, several token issuers are considered.  This is particularly relevant for aCT, which currently doesn't work with tokens.
• In Switzerland, Alps couldn't be tailored for ATLAS, so they decided to build a dedicated HTC system.
• NordForsk issues a call for RI proposals: https://www.nordforsk.org/calls/call-proposals-nordic-research-infrastructure-hubs which can be relevant for ARC.
• OpenSSL 3.4 compatibility is being loked into.
• Old NorduGrid Wiki should be closed.
