-=CERN related=-
* WP3(Antun): provide some CPUs for SEE-GRID on CERN-PROD site?
* FP7: what is EGEE/CERN position towards SEE-GRID infrastructure?
* next QR by 15 November
* contract change as requested by CERN (article 1.3)
* continue with the existing algorithm for distibuting money (CERN observation noted)
* hardware - CERN doesn't have any budget for this
* accession forms and contract copy will be sent to CERN by mail
-=3.01 Technical execution plan overview=-
* objective: assess progress on all WPs
* actions:
- wp2 - open ngi issues and actions per countries
- wp3 - agree on site SLA
- wp4 - check progress on inital set of applications, define groups for different areas of gridifications
- planning for fp7
* progress not good in the last few months -> 3 day working meeting with parallel sessions to catch up
-=3.02 WP5=-
* submitted D5.1 (web site and mailing lists)
* sent D5.2a (promotional package) to partners
* 3-monthly newsletters
* dissemination event agenda -> see-grid.eu site
* training event agenda -> see-grid training portal at sztaki
* training questionnaire - at least one person per country
* event policy - description of event for sending to edu list
* training VO - few sites + services
* past and planned dissemination/training events
* there should be one training and dissemination event per country
* agree on Year1 regional events
* concertation event in EGEE06 conference - draft recomendations created
* virtual doctoral studies - shared doctoral studies between SEE-GRID countries
-=3.03 WP2=-
* NGI questionnaire results per country + conclusions
* SLA - signed by sites
- hardware and network requirements
- support and expertise
- VO support
- operational metrics
- enforcement
* D2.1 - questionnaire results, policy documents as annexes
* D2.2 - sustainability approach based on D2.1
-=3.04 WP4=-
* application categorization
* user comunities
* application selection
* application gridification process
* areas for collaborative development
* application gridification progress per country
-=3.06 WP3=-
* Update on country CA status
* Status of grid sites
- No site at CERN, but maybe provide some CPUs?
* Status of monitoring tools (to be used for SLA)
- SAM installation almost finished
-=3.07a FP7=-
* e-IRG presentation shown
- sustainable service provision
- new type of project will require some cofinancing (not 100%)
* MK - different Grid research projects, some related to infrastructure, digital repositories, EGEE3 interest
* HU - SEE-GRID eInfra for new scientific user communities
* BG - improvements for SEE-GRID infra, data management development, new communities
- SEE-GRID infrastructure not a competitor to EGEE but an incubator
* RO - preparation of infrastructure and application for EGEE, training
* TR - continue to be involved in integration infrastructure projects, national projects, collaboration with industry
* MN - better infrastructure and new communities
* AL - continue current activities, research
* MO - continue current activities, new communities
* BiH - continue current activities, new communities
* SR - continue current activities, new communities, sustainability
* HR - SEE Knowledge Infrastructure - example: using grid for ecosystem preservation in region
* Summary
- new user communities
- 3 tier infra (network, grid, new user comm) integration and incubation
- continuing measures for different levels of development in countries
- sustainability as a goal
- careful expansion (not too many new countries)
* Vision - integrated project with following parts
- seeknow -1 - generic libraries/applications to be used by different communities
- seegrid-3 - grid infra
- seeren-3 + geant - network infra
-=3.08a WP1=-
* Executive advisory board - delayed but to be created soon
* MoUs mostly signed
* next QR by 15 November
* contract change as requested by CERN (article 1.3)
* continue with the existing algorithm for distibuting money (CERN observation noted)
* review of deliverables - should start ASAP
* perhaps have NGI overview per country
* hardware - CERN doesn't have any budget for this
* all contractors study financial guidelines (find auditor, agreen on the cost of audit)
* financial presentation (will be online)
- cost models
- eligible costs
- audits
- pre-financing algorithm
- equipment financing
-=3.09 WP3/4=-
