• Had a short discussion about the Globus GCS and GSI-OpenSSH replacement.   Globus team is still in development on OpenSSH with Globus Auth authentication and GCS version 5 just came out.  Globus team is expected to keep support for XSEDE services they provide for up to six months after the new substitute versions come out is our understanding.   Will request a Globus update for a future call from the Globus team.
