Please track notes from HTCondor week here, particularly new features we may want to investigate.  It could be some time before we can look at them and I don't want to forget.  If possible include:

• Name or very brief description of the feature (e.g. DAGman flow)
• Any links provided by the talk or that you can track down in semi-realtime
• Broader description of each item and maybe some context of where it might be useful

The primary function of this is as a note to future versions of us so no need to go into great detail,  just want to avoid head scratching questions about 'what was that thing, that was going to help with that other thing'.

Try to create and follow some form of structure using headers and bullets.

OSG School

Do we want to attend the OSG School?  https://opensciencegrid.org/virtual-school-2021/

ANSWER: K. Scott doesn't think it is very useful.  Unless we plan on using OSG significanly, I suggest we skip it.

Command line changes

They plan to make just a "condor" command that works like git or aws.  That sounds great.

DAGMan Workflows inline submit

Coming soon will be able to have just one file (DAG) that also does the submit.

Youtube Documentation

May be useful for users if we switch to HTCondor more broadly.  CHTC Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd1UBXmZIgB4p85t2tu-gLw

Grafana based dashboard

The LIGO talk on their dashboard is akin to something I'd like to see us try at some point.

get_htcondor

This is a script you download from https://get.htcondor.com/ as get_htcondor and then you can run that to install HTCondor.

Htcondor.dag API

The HTCondor.dag API looks like it might be interesting for setting up iterating over a large number of data sets where there are complex dags which differ by only a small amount.

CVMFS

Is CVMFS helpful to us at all?  Maybe.  If CASA was more modular and didn't try to load every python file on startup and we were doing lots of small, remote jobs.
