0. Input from NA4

What services are they really looking to be sustained by EGI.eu across VOs, training, dissemination, etc.? This should NOT be a list of items that were requested in ROSCOE, SAFE, CUE & TAPAS but a review of the critical items needed to sustain their community that cannot be provided through other sources.
1. Services for the User Community
Ignacio Blanquer, Ioannis Liabotis, Robin McConnell, Vangelis Floros
01/03/2010, 14:00
Through EGI-InSPIRE, EGI.eu are already planning a minimal set of services: * Human Coordination: Interaction with VRCs, Definition & Identification of VRCs, Meeting support through an annual User Forum, Requirements collection and monitoring [EGI.eu] * Training Events and Training Repository [UK] * Applications Database [GRNET] * Software Database [GRNET - Primarily for MU] * VO Services...
2. Other Communities beyond NA4
01/03/2010, 14:45
Update from other VRC proposals. * eSSNMR * WeNMR (Alexandre M.J.J. Bonvin [a.m.j.j.bonvin@uu.nl])
16. Support for and from the HUCs (SA3 in EGI-InSPIRE)
Isabel Campos Plasencia, Jamie Shiers, Johan Montagnat
01/03/2010, 15:30
What support options are planned within SA3 that could be used to support the existing NA4 community? * HEP, shared Dashboards and Applications: Jamie * LS, shared Hydra & Dashboards: Johan * Shared workflow, schedulers & MPI: Isabel
4. VRC support from the NGIs
Gabriel Zaquine
01/03/2010, 16:30
One source of support for the VRCs is from the NGIs. For an upcoming EGEE deliverable the VOs will be asked to provide details as to the national commitments they have for support and resources.
3. Discussion of Community support options
02/03/2010, 09:00
How can the community support activities be distributed? * EGI.eu * NGIs * VRCs Review of what can be supported by who. What adaptations need to be considered in the EGI-InSPIRE DoW and general NGI activities.
5. Review of User Requirements
Juergen Knobloch
02/03/2010, 11:00
The previous day's discussion will have clarified the support being offered by EGI.eu through the global tasks and identified additional tasks that could be taken up by the NGIs.
6. NGI Support for VRCs
John Gordon, Tiziana Ferrari
02/03/2010, 11:30
The probable failure of the SAFE, ROSCOE, TAPAS and CUE proposals will force more VRCs to obtain support through NGIs. What support will the NGIs offer? * Training * Application Porting * Dissemination Will this be across all VOs or specific VOs?
7. Moving from ROCs to NGIs
Tomasz Szepieniec
02/03/2010, 13:30
Experience from CE and the plans for SEE to migrate
8. What do ALL NGIs need to do?
Mario Reale (GARR), Sven Gabriel, Torston Antoni
02/03/2010, 14:00
The move from ROCs to NGIs means new responsibilities for an NGI: * Security: Contacts and Operational procedures (O-E-15 & 16) * Networking: How should you interact with your NREN and networking issues (O-E-12) * Helpdesk: NGI Operations support unit (O-E-5, O-E-6 & O-E-7)
15. What do SOME NGIs need to do?
Mario David
02/03/2010, 15:30
The move from a central to a national structures means that SOME NGIs need to participate actively in some activities: * Middleware Rollout. Sites are needed to put releases of new software services into a production use for communities to verify their ability to operate at production loads. (O-E-9) * Interoperation. Some new software releases will change the public interfaces used by other...
9. Dealing with different middleware
Alexander Papaspyrou, John Gordon
02/03/2010, 16:15
EGI will work to define middleware interfaces that need to be supported in production as opposed to naming specific middleware instances. Operationally, particular middleware distributions will need to be integrated into production. This will have an impact on: * Integration into monitoring tools * Accounting of resource usage into national/central accounting databases * Deployment,...
17. NGI and VO Readiness Survey
Gabriel Zaquine
02/03/2010, 16:45
NA1 has an upcoming deliverable examining the state of the NGIs in preparation for transition. As part of that a survey will be sent out to NGIs and VOs.
10. Tools for NGI Monitoring
James Casey
03/03/2010, 09:00
What are the tools that an NGI and a site need to deploy and use? What will their status be at the end of EGEE?
12. Tool Regionalisation
Tiziana Ferrari
03/03/2010, 09:30
There seems to be a reduced interest for deployment of operational tools at a national level. Given the limited support for this activity within EGI-InSPIRE is a better alternative too have regional/national views of centrally support tools. How should this be reflected in the planned EGI-InSPIRE work. If this is not desired - where will the effort come from to develop and support these...
11. SLA/SLDs for a site
Nick Thackary
03/03/2010, 10:00
Given the monitoring capabilities, what will a site and an NGI commit to providing to the infrastructure in terms of availability, reliability, middleware upgrades, support and other monitoring metrics.
13. NGIs need to become more involved!
03/03/2010, 11:00
The bulk of EGI activity will come from outside the EGI-InSPIRE project. NGIs need to bring additional NGI resources to the activity. * Development, testing and deployment of operational tools * Staged rollout of middleware and interoperation testbeds * ....
