Operational issues
Decommissioning dCache 2.6
- support for dCache 2.6 ended at May 2015
- we made an assessment to understand how many sites still expose dCache 2.6 endpoints.
- decommission the dCache 2.6 endpoints by the end of January 2016 (or before) https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=118248
- ref: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/PROC16
- at next meeting we expect to have 2.6 decommissioned from the EGI infrastructure
Decommissioning SL5
- SL5 support aligned with RHEL5
- no more "Full support”; end of "Transition" Phase on January 31, 2014 • not getting anymore new software functionalities
- in "Maintenance" until March 31, 2017 • only urgent/critical fixes until then
- Supporting CentOS7 in UMD requires to schedule the end of support of SL5 in UMD
- No more new packages for SL5, only security/important fixes accepted
- SL5 services must be decommissioned by end of April 2016; broadcast at December, probes will be warning since February 2016 to start helping with decommissioning

Distributing middleware as Docker images
- releasing UMD4 products as Docker images in addition to RPMs
- pros: can run on hardware, no virtualization platform needed
- cons: maybe hard to create/maintain
- to be provided by TPs and/or volunteer sites
- possible profiles: site/top BDII, CEs
