* Greg, [https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/gregc/talks/2024-04-18 work in progress]

= Discussion Notes =

* Certificate Authority Authorization
  - Greg adding DNS records to address penetration test discovery of no CAA record for wynton.ucsf.edu domain.
  - Only allow Let's Encrypt

* Wynton penetration test
  - Got "A" grade for external access
  - Got "B" grade for internal access

* ReadCIF library
  - Improved ReadCIF library to handle PDB-Redo with weird column alignment.

* Python limited API
  - Tried make ChimeraX RealSense bundle work with any Python 3 version.
  - Involves compiling with limited api environment variable (?) or macro so that only portable Python APIs are allowed.

* PyQt vs PySide
  - May want to switch PyQt6 to PySide6 to avoid annual $1000 license fees.
  - Will require long testing period.
  - May be able to use qtpy shim.
  - We use our own Qt shim for Qt 5 to Qt 6 migration before qtpy shim supported Qt 6.

* R01 annual report
  - Due May 15
  - Tom Ferrin will send old report to Elaine to get updated usage and citation stats.
  - Would be good to have ChimeraX 1.8 release soon to mention in report.

* Plato backups not happening
  - plato backup machine is dead so backups are not being done.
  - Not sure when plato backup will be revived, but hopefully in weeks.
  - Scooter suggested we could use "rustic" which does incremental backups to backup plato home directories to SSD.  Did not decide to do that.

* Selina grad school
  - Selina is going to USC in the Fall.
