Dear VO Managers,
EGI is organising a Software Carpentry workshop especially for scientists
who write their own grid computing applications. The workshop will be part of
the EGI Community Forum 2013 program.
The workshop will focus to teach simple ways to improve the software and the
way in which it is written. The workshop focuses on an introduction to
practical software development skills. The only background you will need is a
basic understanding of a programming language
Please, find more information in a news item recently published on the EGI
site and disseminate this information in your communities:
http://go.egi.eu/sw-carpentry-ws
If you need more information in addition to the web page linked above, or if
you have suggestions about specific topics interesting for your community,
you can contact:
Michel Drescher (michel.drescher(a)egi.eu), EGI.eu
Mike Jackson (m.jackson(a)epcc.ed.ac.uk), Software Carpentry
Thanks

Dear all,
EUGridPMA have announced a new set of CA rpms.
Based on this IGTF release, new CA RPMs have been packaged for EGI.
Please upgrade within the next eight days at your earliest convenience.
When this timeout is over, SAM will throw critical errors on CA tests if old
CAs are still detected.
Please check https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI_IGTF_Release for more details

European Grid Infrastructure EGI Trust Anchor release 1.51 2012.11.26
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For release DOCUMENTATION available on this EGI Trust Anchor release see
https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI_IGTF_Release
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modifications compared to the previous release:
* updated to IGTF Accredited CA distribution version 1.51-1 Classic, SLCS and
MICS profiles, encoded in meta-package "ca-policy-egi-core-1.51-1" (for new
installs) and "lcg-CA-1.51-1" (for sites upgrading from EGEE/LCG releases).
* Location of the repository changed to repository.egi.eu. See documentation
for details and the updated repo files.
* Your may install BOTH the "egi-core" AND "lcg" meta-packages, according to
your policies. Note that your organisation or NGI may have a specific
policy and may have added or removed CAs compared to the EGI core policy.
The following notices are republished from the IGTF and EUGridPMA, inasfar
as pertinent to this release. More information can be found in the
EUGridPMA newsletter (see https://www.eugridpma.org/):
Changes from 1.50 to 1.51
-------------------------
(26 November 2012)
* Due to the unfortunate closure of Grid-Ireland, the Grid-Ireland CA
(1e43b9cc) has been discontinued (IE)
* extended expiry date for CyGrid CA (afe55e66) (CY)
The CA modifications, encoded in both "requires" and "obsoletes" clauses, have
been incorporated in the above-mentioned meta-package RPMs. This trust anchor
release is best enjoyed with fetch-crl v3 or better, available from popular
GNU/Linux OS (add-on) repositories Fedora, EPEL, Debian, and from the IGTF.
