    4. Roman - RRD MA
      1. Documentation - All documents and change log on SVN trunk.
      2. Software - 3.0- RC3 is available, with newest psBase (20080310) and web admin jar(0.7b). Documentation is updated with new message type ErrorResponse and comment lines on configuration files. New RC4 will be available tomorrow.

Updates: Priority for this is not high, so at least the design of the needed features will be ready until the end of March, but the implementation will only be for 3.1.
      3. Testing update (Sasa Cavara) - scripts are ready. All tests behaved as expected, some minor bugs found and filled in Bugzilla, echo ok, LS registration (with 1 hour interval) ok, and the AS ok as well. This is strange, why did Michalis find problems testing RRD-MA Authentication, and Sasa did not find problems testing the SQL-MA authentication, and they both used the same installed AS?
        1. ACTION NEW Loukik to discuss SQL MA testing with Michalis - how is it that there are problems with LS and AA for Michalis but not for Sasa - are there configuration issues?

        3. Work on Almost Well Formed and Malformed requests tests. From what Panagiotis has seen so far, some problems will arise here, but considering the nature of the service they shouldn't be considered as release blockers. This is the reason they are low on Panagiotis' priorities. Loukik and Nicholas are ok with this.
    7. Verena - BWCTL MP
      1. Documentation and change log available on DFN Erlangen SVN
      2. Software - RC3 is out with problem registering with LS solved. Problem reported by Stijn under investigation, new release candidate (RC4) released soon today. WebAdmin configuration tool to configure BWCTL MP is out. WebAdmin tool rework: waiting for visuals from Loukik, as soon as Verena has these, the WebAdmin tool will be adjusted. A running version of the service would help in general.
      3. Testing update - Stijn is extending the existing java scripts to cover new functionalities. Stijn has prepared the tests and installed the service. If testing goes without problems, it will be finished by the end of next week.
    8. Maciej - Single LS
      1. Documentation and change log available on SVN trunk.
      2. Software - 1.2-RC3 is available for testing, fixes problem of RRD MA registration. Next week new RC4 will be available, with new psBASE and updated web admin jar. Documentation is being updated to reflect new message type ErrorResponse.

      2. Software - CL-MP 2.0 RC2 is out. RC3 next week, with bugs solved, AA support and updated psBASE and web admin jar.
      3. Testing (Jochem) - scripts ready to support new features.
        1. Test scripts and documentation for ping, OWAMP, and BWCTL support are ready. Testing ping, owamp and bwctl functionality is finished. The next release (RC3) should include all fixes for all bugs that were found during testing the ping functionality.
        2. During testing the traceroute functionality it became apparent that the traceroute of the current RedHat release is incompatible with the traceroute of Debian that was used for developing CL-MP. Guilherme already found the problem and it should be fixed in RC3.
        3. EchoRequest tests are ok.
        4. AA support is not yet included in CL-MP. It will be included in RC3.
        5. LS functionality not tested so far.
        6. Documentation and test script creation has started for traceroute support. Ready?
        7. When will Cron functionality be tested?
        8. Still nothing done about the Schedule functionality. Jochem hopes he can work on it a lot more next week.
        9. Will test for normal functionality and/or support for AA and/or cron/store functionality (schedule measurement)?
    10. Jeff and Jason - perfSONOBuoy - if everything is still on track for the end of February, this will be a good enough date to enter the 3.0 Release
      1. Documentation - first week of March.
      2. Software - perfSONARBUOY is currently in testing.
        1. Jeff has a question on the RPM's. Jeff and Jason can create a 'set' of RPM's with dependancies (this way pingER and perfSONARBUOY will have common dependancies). Or, we can create an all-in-one RPM that installs everything in /opt/perfSONARBUOY or something similar. LK suggested to create just 1 as its easy for users. Jeff said he will check with Maxim to see if there are any strong preferences. If not, he will probably create just one.
        2. Jeff and Jason do not intend to do authentication for this release. This is an archive of previous results, and there is no 'privacy' concerns as such, so the effort does not seem worth the effort. They intend to see how DFN has handled the AA issues, and perhaps work with them as things go forward to get this working in the future.
        3. Jeff and Jason are beginning work on the web-admin interface while the service is in testing. They intend to re-use as much of Maxim's web-admin software as possible. (also to look at the DFN solution to see if that is more applicable.). Jeff is not sure if web-admin will be available by end of March.
      3. Testing - service being tested now.
    11. Maxim and Yee - Pinger
      1. Documentation - ready
      2. Software - PingER is on track. Version bumped to RC 0.08 to be consistent with the rest of ps-ps services. PingER landmarks topology schema (used for loading the list of monitored pairs) were updated and XML binding API was updated as well.PingER MP was tested and reference deployment for US CMS Tier1 -Tier2 monitoring is runnig at http://tukki.fnal.gov:8075/perfSONAR_PS/services/pinger/ma. Current data gathered by MP is availabe on the visualization webpage at http://tukki.fnal.gov/pinger/graph_pings_gd.pl
      3. Testing - ready and done.
    12. ACTION:Infrastructure to help functional testing - Test Infrastructure:
      1. A LS deployed so that people can register the information - DONE According to Michalis, there seems to be a misconfiguration problem and the LS is not working properly. He has notified Szymon about this, but the last time he checked the problem was still there. ACTION NEW: Szymon to install the new RC of LS as soon as it is made available, and to follow on this problem with Michalis.
      2. An AS service for people to test the authentication - DONE
      3. A server with three operating systems to test the installation ONGOING A server is ready and configured with Red-Hat. Debian and Free BSD will be available if there is a strong need for them.
        1. What to use on Debian and Free BSD instead of RPMs? Roman suggested creating WAR files and putting then in Tomcat. Roman has already created war files for RRD-MA and SQL-MA latest RCs. ACTION ONGOING: Loukik to discuss with Roman about using war files and updating the Product Build Guid document. Guilherme will have a deb_maker script to automatize the process of building deb packages. ACTION NEW:Loukik to discuss deb maker scripts and update functionality with Guilherme.
      4. Each development team will install the latest RC of their services and make them available. Loukik to send an email to the development list asking for this, and then to create a page on the Wiki to place the links to the installed services. Hopefully, all developers will have new RCs next week, and will install them as asked. If anyone needs to use DANTE server, just ask.
