We're getting at the end of the MOOC course. So we're mostly wrapping up:

==== Progress ====
During this long period, rather few has happened due to the Christmas vacation (main developer was on leave from Dec. 9th to Jan 2nd).
 
Nevertheless, a first version of VAPOR has been finalized and set on line on Dec. 22nd 2013:  https://operations-portal.egi.eu/vapor/vapor-jobMonStatusPerDateDyGraph?vo=biomed
It supports the biomed VO, and the biomed technical support team is now encouraged to use it. The web application is hosted as the Computing Center in Lyon (IN2P3), while the data collecting services are hosted at the production server in I3S in Sophia Antipolis.
 
Other tasks performed:
* new release of the JobMonitor deployed. It fixes flaws and simplifies the configuration.
* new release of the Lavoisier data integration service deployed. Comes with several important optimizations and bug fixes.
* Complete the integration of the Running Ratio feature: initially it required the data to be located on the same server as the webapp, now data is exploited remotely.
* Misc. other bug fixes and improvements.
* Important rework of the VAPOR Install and Configuration guide.
 
==== Plans for next period ====
* Investigate a problem of too long delay in the computing of the white list of CEs (2 to 3 minutes depending on parameters).
* Code cleanness: improve insufficient comments in the code, clean up unneeded files and properties.
* Start the development of the next Data Management feature: handling of dark data and lost files.
