== News
LDAP monitor is apparently dysfunctional, probably for a long while, disabled for now. Unclear whether anything is using Archery, but it is clearly unmaintained.
The build system has to migrate to a new hardware, work started. Migration to cmake is still in plans. Nightly builds for ARC6 are not needed, dedicated builds for securty fixes can be made instead.
== Release
It is agreed with EGI that the ARGO fix for ARC6 is not needed, so will be only applied to ARC7.
The latest ARC7 nightly will be installed for testing at one extra site, otherwise everything is ready for a release.
== Bugs
Nothing to discuss. Some new formal bugs will need to be sorted out.
== Other
Some discussion on file-transfer jobs peculiarities ensues. In general, it should be clarified what is the use case for an ARC-based data transfer service (as compared to e.g. FTS or Globus Online).
