  • Marco: Implementing features started in last week's GlideinWMS Hackathon, including a plugin interface for SciTokens/WLCG Tokens.

  • HTCondor Week registration is open, looking for speakers. Marco has several ideas for talks that Fermi or GlideinWMS folks can give; Brian will pass them on to the HTCSS dev team.

  • Derek reports that HTCondor file transfer output plugins are hard to debug, primarily due to lack of output upon failures. HTCondor 9.7.0 has improvements in this department; Derek will verify and send suggestions for further improvements to the HTCSS devs.
