  • Swinburne University (BrianL): setting up a new Hosted CE for them via the CHTC Tiger k8s cluster
  • LHCb @ MIT (Derek): Usage is still not showing up. May be related first to EGI portal problems, which caused them to restart it, which caused it to not get the topology information because wrong URL.
  • belle2 @ BNL (Derek): Not showing up as well, may be related to EGI portal and now topology problems.
  • CalTech (Edgar): Working with Justas to help him set up xrootd-multiuser with checksums, but running into a bug in xrootd/xrootd-multiuser that gives the wrong checksums. Running into GWMS problems after upgrading the HTCondor central manager to 8.9; will debug with Marco.
  • CMU (Mat): gfal-ls ticket given to Wei, but waiting on debug information; Mat will ping user.
