Present: Mattias, Maiken, Balazs, Anders, David, Aleksandr, Oxana

== News

GDPR discussions are being planned. NeIC is opening a new call of a potential interest. Virtual test "clusters" are being set, can be configured via gitlab (SLURM and HTCondor). There was new Globus (Grid Community Toolkit) release before Xmas. Anders implemented a proof-of-concept gsiftp client in Python using standard libraries, Andrei works on a similar thing for the REST interface.

== Bugs

Some new bugs, nothing critical.

== GDPR fix

A minor release may be needed to fix the exposed info. A DN can be scrambled/hashed or removed, but this will always break older clients that rely on DN to discover user's jobs. NorduGrid schema will need to be adjusted, too: either re-define the existing attribute, or add a new attribute (a cleaner way), more thinking is needed. A quick fix is simply to remove the feature of finding own jobs (retire arcsync) and blame GDPR. Another option is to add a new XRSL attribute to opt out of DN publication. After some discussion a hashed DN looks to be the best option.
