UMD
Next scheduled release is February's UMD 4.10.0: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/UMD_Release_Schedule
- integration of HTCondor-CE still in progress
- HTCondor-CE released in UMD 4.9.1 http://repository.egi.eu/2019/12/04/release-umd-4-9-1/ pointing to the original documentation (the documentation is OK)
- still needed to contributed to the WN package
- there is no particular automatic way provided to EGI sites to configure HTCondor-CE
- UMD team offers automatic deployments for several well-known products and is willing to provide such kind of recipes; usually these recipes are a result of a * joint effort of the provider together with the UMD team
- Are NGIs willing to investigate among their site admins about condor/HTCondor-CE skills and contribute with available recipes or help?
CMD
Still needs to be restarted
- product updates delayed
- planning the "next maor release" based on new technologies
- need: Dockerfiles, define tests.
- automating the SR (possible?)
- manual final verification is always needed
- kubernetes?

LCGDM end of support and migration to / enabling of DOME
- The DPM team has agreed to extend support for security updates for the DPM legacy functionality until 30 September 2019. However, affected service providers should still plan to disable legacy mode well before this date.
- more details: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/DPM_End_of_legacy-mode_support
- since DPM 1.10.3 release, it is possible enabling the non-legacy mode DOME (Disk operations Management Engine, see documentation)
- latest DPM release 1.13.1 has been also released in UMD 4.8.5
- EGI Operations sent a broadcast to site-admins(first bunch and second bunch) and VO managers with a survey to fill in:
- site-admins: to know the upgrade plans: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2PBZSNB
- VO Managers: to know any barriers in moving away from using SRM protocol https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2ZMZJVG

Liasing with WLCG to follow-up the upgrade. Opened GGUS tickets asking the following:
- all the sites with older DPM versions than 1.12 are suggested to upgrade to the latest DPM version , following the guide DPM upgrade (chapter 1 Upgrade to DPM 1.10.0 "Legacy Flavour" and chapter 2 Upgrade to DPM 1.10.0 "Dome Flavour")
- DOME and the old LCGDM (srm protocol) will coexist
- Monitoring: sites should enable the monitoring of the HTTP/WebDav and/or GridFTP endpoints
- register the storage service endpoint as webdav and/or globus-GRIDFTP service type, with production flag disabled, providing respectively the URL field and the Extension Properties information as explained in the HOWTO21
- check if the tests are ok
- switch the production flag to "yes"
