Support Update

• SIUE (BrianL): they're trying out a self-hosted CE in front of their Ubuntu 20 cluster
• University of Tennessee Chattanooga (BrianL): multi-VO Hosted CEs don't work because HTCondor-CE sets HOME from the CE by default.
  Fixed in to-be-released versions of HTCondor-CE
• Lancium (Mat): debug low contributions after updating to the latest backfill container image

OSG DevOps

• 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.
