Need to upload changes back to github. Already have different sites with different cloud platforms sending information. Will send instructions to list on how to configure/setup locally with VO/SSL.

Currently signing images with certificate from obsolete CA (retired from IGTF); got new certificate from a current CA and will be re-signing images as of tomorrow. Organised meeting to discuss vmcaster/vmcatcher. Owen reports updated documentation, documenting hitherto undocumented features. - Brokering - Ivan Diaz Provided brokering tool to install with updated/improved documentation. Will be asking others to review/contribute to documentation. - SLA and Business Models - David Blundell No news. - Certification status - Operational Status and Issues - Malgorzata Krakowian No news. - User Community news Salvatore - Helix Nebula used with INFN-BARI. Working but expecting to need another week to sort out some issues. Laurence has got CERN engaged, and the cloud is seeing both CMS and LHCb jobs, particularly CMS. ACTION Salvatore to contact Laurence regarding interfacing with H/N for WLCG jobs. - Special Items None - AOB Jens reports a writeup of build problems with Stoxy, not a Stoxy problem but bugs in the python build tools. Written up (URL in chat log). Jens knows Perl, so cannot know python (no one can know both), so requests help from the pythonistas. Also contacted dCache (well, Paul) re support for CDMI in dCache, but no response yet - Paul is probably on hols. Roksana - need description of metrics. ACTION DavidW to follow up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- CURRENT ACTIONS/STATUS -------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ACTION Michel: Organise teleconference on Security: "ongoing" (aka "no news") ACTION OWEN to draft the probe design plan: update, see below ACTION EMIR to request proper service types for vmcaster and vmcatcher probes (depends on prev. action) ACTION EMIR & KOSTAS to get the CDMI probe running with Okeanos: update, see below ACTION EMIR to expand probe coverage on other providers once working with Okeanos (depends on prev. action) ACTION PETER to supply names of the other group in OGF to leverage synergies: poll for date created, ongoing.
