Notes:
- NSF solicitations to the follow on for XSEDE are out. Two solicitations as a result of this: One to cover different activities in ACCESS, and another which functions as a coordinating, program office. Links to solicitations are at: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21555/nsf21555.pdf and https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21556/nsf21556.pdf
- XCI updates:
- RDR documentation updated about community software areas.
- Discussion regarding Common User Environment variables for SPs. Is this something that is widely adopted or continues to make sense as a requirement for current and new SPs?
- Need to check if there are any packages published by RACD that have dependencies on CUE variables.
- Clarifications regarding Globus usage for XSEDE SPs that continued from discussion in previous SP software call.
- XSEDE MyProxy service has a 90day grace period for users after allocations expire, ie users can still get a MyProxy cert 90 days after all their allocations have expired.
- Automatic shut off for users after 90 days after allocations become inactive.
- Open discussion
- Sudoedit patch available for all linux variants. SPs kindly patch your systems against this vulnerability if you haven't done so already.
