= Discussion Notes =

* Wynton and Plato updates
  - Only plato nodes of Wynton cluster are running while trying to restore corrupted beegfs Wynton disks.
  - Plato nodes wilkins, watson, franklin running Rocky 8 operating system now.
  - Crick node is still running CentOS 7, don't use it.
  - Converting Python 2 scripts to Python 3.  Don't plan to put Python 2 on Rocky 8.
  - Updating mailing lists to Python 3 version of mailman.
  - DNS was broken because Rocky 9 does not accept SHA1 encryption while DNA-sec requires it.

* Benefits of Rocky 8
  - Newer Trac version 1.5.4 based on Python 3.
  - Nicer mailing list web viewer.
  - Using Python 3.8
  - Using Apache 2.4
  - Opal is gone
  - Compilers are more modern.

* Certificates for web sites and email
  - Requesting certificates from UCSF IT has been difficult.  They ask for unreasonable changes like eliminating Python 2 on CentOS 7 and won't issue certificates until it is resolved.
  - Plan is to get all certificates from Let's Encrypt instead.  They expire every 90 days, so renewal has to be automated.
  - Tom Ferrin suggests it might be simpler to pay for 5-year wild-card certificate.  Cost ~$100 per year.
  - Greg should have all certificates updated by tomorrow.
  - After, Greg or Scooter can look at getting long-term wild-card certificates.
  - Elaine reports Firefox cannot access ChimeraX website giving security warning.

* Email
  - Tom Ferrin asks if we have switched from sendmail to postfix.  Not yet.  Greg says mailman update complicates switch.
  - Campus IT purchased ProofPoint for RBVI.
  - Need to figure out how users can look at quarantined email.  Should not require a ProofPoint account.

* VR demos
  - TomG is giving VR demo to 3 or 4 people from UCSF Office of Sponsored Research Thurs June 8, 3 pm.
  - Scooter is giving a VR demo to Joe DeRisi June 15.  Will need to understand latest Quest molecule viewing.
