1. jBACI
   • Delivered with ACS
   • Incomplete
2. PyBACI
   • Skeleton
3. Python 3
   • 2019OCT, 2019DEC, 2020FEB Python 2/3 compatible clients
     • Bug-fixes on newer versions
   • 2020APR Python 2/3 compatible for Containers, Clients, Simulated Components (acssim) and all that has been tested so far
   • Python 2/3 compatibility is only guaranteed until 2020JUN release, however it's most likely to stay compatible until several releases later
4. ACS Workshop
   • It is factible for ALMA to participate in an ACS workshop
5. CentOS Support
   • ACS is working fine in Centos 8 after a few backwards compatible changes (2020FEB)
     • PyOpenSSL version upgrade
     • Mico fix to use c++11
     • Only difference found during module's tests were:
       • Some minor output differences
       • Problems in acsdaemon module's tests where scripts hang indefinitely
         • Hasn't been investigated
   • This is not a priority for ALMA during this year
     • ALMA SW will probably be ported to RH 8 / CentOS 8 for Cycle 10 (Before 2021DEC release)
     • ACS could finish this task before as it is ~95-99% compatible at this point, but there is no commitment at this point due to observatory priorities
6. CORBA Replacement
   • Most likely the first replacement will be the Notification Service
     • Already working on a plan to study (and implement) an alternative Notification Service for ACS
7. Other topics
   • Documentation
   • TAT v/s Unit
   • BulkData and ZeroMQ
   • Code Generation Survey
   • UML to IDL Code Generation
   • ACS Modernization
   • How to Keep the Community Alive
