Announcements¶

AI (Carl, with help from Mat): Enable networking in Koji builds
Kubernetes Hackathon
- AI (Mat): put together Hosted CE submitting to the CHTC Slurm cluster
- AI (Carl): create koji builder pod in production namespace
- AI (BrianL): deploy ITB central collector

The new version of HTCondor-CE 5 should be pulled from testing due to bugs found.
AI (Marco): Add check to frontend to make sure the VOMS signing certificate is valid.

SDSC Expanse (BrianL): Released production tarballs are broken for the OSG case but there is a workaround for Hosted CEs
Marian: Public links to Freshdesk tickets don't work for some people; the workaround for them is to use incognito mode. Freshdesk refuses to fix the issue so for now we have to remind people to use incognito mode.
Purdue records (Derek, Carl): Gratia probe seemed to be sending records for local usage, not just OSG. Carl will investigate and provide a software fix.
LBL (Carl): Continuing to help with Squid registration; some of their Squids are internal and should not be registered.

OSG Status page: Moving synchronization to Tiger, merged.
XRootD accounting information (from Frank):
- May need help with automating the process of generating these reports. A month only takes a few minutes. Longer periods take much longer.
- Table of working set, read, and re-read for monthly, quarterly, and year.
PATh metrics: Waittime has gone through a few iterations. Pull request ready for review: https://github.com/path-cc/metric-tools/pull/22

gracc-status RPM can be dropped from OSG devops repo, but gracc-archive RPM should be kept.
