However, they mentioned having trouble with theirs - hard to assert/search parameters when they're so flexible. + +### repo.icatproject.org + +Andy: is this fixed +STFC: yes, apologies this was broken by migrating VMs to upgrade the OS. External network configuration was broken but it worked internally. + +### NOBUGS + +Need to create an indico page to get numbers of attendance so room can be organised. + +STFC will send a couple of people. + +Andy: Register ASAP: only 160 seats & already 120 potentially filled by speakers +Kevin: when does registration open? +Andy: open now https://indico.esrf.fr/event/114/registrations/ + +Can just register just for satellite(s) or the main conference as well. + +Multiple talks from ICAT people at main conference (5) : https://indico.esrf.fr/event/114/search?q=icat + +## Site Updates + +### SESAME + +No big updates. + +Finished cybersecurity assessment.

Will share report at next meeting most likely. + +Still only accessible on internal network + +Plan to start using DataPortal with the public next week. + +Andy: how many other sites using glassfish? +Rest mostly using Payara +Alan: shouldn't really make a difference + +Main problem is all services running in same environment. Separate DataPortal onto separate VM is likely safer. + +WAF (Web applicaiton firewall) - ESRF looking into implementing + +### ESRF + +Processed data - 10 beamlines using. High demand for this, initially macromolecular crystollography, but expanding to more techniques. Happy with performance - going smoothly and faster than ispyb. + +Collaborate with DESY for crystallography. Going to go over and help them set it all up including ICAT. Thinking about packaging to make this easier. + +Andy: should get extra money for that, maybe EOSC? + +Andy: feedback from scientists re: electronic logbooks. Difficult as they compare with google docs!
