infrastructure:

• Rucio version has been migrated to newer one (1.28), should have better token support
  • DLaaS interface has some incompatibility issue -- taking care of this, but not fully dependent on us
• Gave a presentation on our infrastructure during the HEP bi-monthly meetings (with Lukas), a lot of interesting discussion, will start joining regularly
• putting together VRE working group to help on the implementation of DLaaS with ESCAPE partners
• exercise to reproduce the cluster and expand -- in progress
  • better secrets management (SOPS)
  • load balancing
  • larger RAM for nodes (VMs on openstack)

Science:

• new sciences joining the EOSC-Future project from Extreme Universe and Multi-messenger Astronomy -- GW from Scuola Normale di Pisa
• Fermilat webscraper implemented (need merge request from repo) from Pooja
• working on adding ATLAS athena environment for event generation on the VRE -- work in progress with Jared

10:30 → 10:35 Updates on recruitment / plans for DARKSIDE and Gamma-ray postdocs

Orateurs: Valerio Ippolito (Harvard University), tommaso boccali (INFN)
