     20  - Plato nodes wilkins, watson, franklin running Rocky 8 operating system now.
     21  - Crick node is still running CentOS 7, don't use it.

     26* Benefits of Rocky 8
     27  - Newer Trac version 1.5.4 based on Python 3.
     28  - Nicer mailing list web viewer.
     29  - Using Python 3.8
     30  - Using Apache 2.4
     31  - Opal is gone
     32  - Compilers are more modern.
     33
     34* Certificates for web sites and email
     35  - 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.
     36  - Plan is to get all certificates from Let's Encrypt instead.  They expire every 90 days, so renewal has to be automated.
     37  - Tom Ferrin suggests it might be simpler to pay for 5-year wild-card certificate.  Cost ~$100 per year.
     38  - Greg should have all certificates updated by tomorrow.
     39  - After, Greg or Scooter can look at getting long-term wild-card certificates.
     40  - Elaine reports Firefox cannot access ChimeraX website giving security warning.
     41
     42* Email
     43  - Tom Ferrin asks if we have switched from sendmail to postfix.  Not yet.  Greg says mailman update complicates switch.
     44  - Campus IT purchased ProofPoint for RBVI.
     45  - Need to figure out how users can look at quarantined email.  Should not require a ProofPoint account.
     46
     47* VR demos
     48  - TomG is giving VR demo to 3 or 4 people from UCSF Office of Sponsored Research Thurs June 8, 3 pm.
     49  - Scooter is giving a VR demo to Joe DeRisi June 15.  Will need to understand latest Quest molecule viewing.
