Announcements¶

OSG All Hands next week! OSG site admin office hours from 3:30-5:30pm Tue Mar 15!

Kubernetes Hackathon today! Potential projects:
- Add Prometheus monitoring for the Postgresql node
- Set up a secondary CHTC (GLOW) frontend on River
AI (Mat): xcache-reporter packaging issues
AI (TimT): move and update oidc-agent technology doc to main docs area as a "using tokens" doc
AI (Mat): add token overview for site admins
AI (BrianL): add overview of 3.6 token transition
AI (Mat): apply voms mapfile patch to OSG's build of XRootD; Justas at Caltech can test
AI (BrianL): kick off tests for Vault, htgetttoken

GlideinWMS (Marco):
- GlideinWMS development has moved to GitHub; there are workflows and the developers are in the process of migrating Redmine tickets.
- Working on fix for slowdown when launching processes for running RRD commands; Python RRD is the only method which gives acceptable performance but there is no RPM for the dependency. Marco will discuss with OSG Software team how to handle the dependency issue.

BNL (BrianL): Qiulan/Doug say that WebDAV doesn't work for their standalone server
Edinburgh (BrianL): help register a cache and sort out Dune data federation details
OU (Derek): Issues with tier2-01.ochep.ou.edu gratia, Horst indicated it's an EL6 cluster and he would be in favor of turning it off.
SDSC (Mat): Got their cache working by using OSG 3.5; asked Diego/Fabio to upgrade some of our test caches to OSG 3.6 so we can figure out auth issues without breaking his site.

StashCP multi-file download/upload.
Secured an "Open Source" license for Gitpod which is the Professional level. It's a competitor to Github Codespaces. Remote development. My first thought is that it would be nice for topology development since it's difficult (in my experience) to iterate. Especially initial setup. License is open to all members of the opensciencegrid github organization.
Packaging of the shoveler?
Packaging of the python-scitokens?
Working on OSDF metrics for OSG Meeting.
