Report from WLCG MW Officer

Singularity (http://singularity.lbl.gov/) is planned to be used in production by CMS and ATLAS next year.

Should we start include it also in UMD? (also as part of WN)

Updates from Technical Providers

DPM/LFC

DPM 1.9.2 released and we plan to push it to EPEL stable tomorrow.

as it fixes as well a vulnerability, it would be good to add it ASAP to UMD ( when we are back from holidays)
