== Actions during the summer ==

QWG releases

New SPMA/ncm-spma (Victor):
 * First draft of changes committed in a separate branch
 * Schema changes + new functions
 * Lot of checks done, no deployed changes on an installed machine
   * Only XML changes
   * No side effect expected... but more testing required in production
 * Cal: lets put it in the trunk and test it
   * Victor: tests can be done in 2 phase: new component, then new schema
   
Monitoring templates (Ronald) :
 * Concentrated first on migrating NIKHEF to QWG (like) templates
   * Basically done
 * A few incompatibilies already identified: no major showstopper but requires careful inspection
   * Send a short summary of incompatibilities before doing real work: will try to make some progress in the next month...
   
PAN compiler 8.4: MS evaluated it but some downstream dependencies found preventing going immediatly to production

QRC plugin release: SixSq agrees to do it (Cal), Nick will send the material by email

Maven evaluation status:
 * Cal already built 2 components for StratusLab with Maven
 * Eli is trying to build a standard one
 * Eric agreed to setup a repository
