Apologize :
 

TNA2.1 :

Emidio reports about 1st review - comments were generally good,
specific suggestions for NA2 were to :
- improve EMI visibility, for instance advertising EMI web site
within partners websites.
- enhance web site look and feel providing a more attractive layout.

TNA2.2 :

Change of web site layout :
Diana suggests to have more than one proposal for it. Piotr agrees and
says that actually improvements should go in two directions :

1) Improve the web site graphical layout
2) Optimize navigability, putting in evidence most relevant
information, like  EMI-1 release, keeping in mind the specific categories to be
targeted, system administrators for instance.

With regards to 1), it's decided that Nadine will help providing some
proposals. UWAR and INFN will then evaluate their feasibility and
details of their implementation to Liferay.

About 2), it's decided to assess the current content of the web site,
in order to evaluate better what has to be changed.
 
Piotr suggests also to publish on the web site interviews to EMI
users, providing a feedback of EMI usage.

Web sites updates :
Some content update is needed and can be done
shortly. Emidio will provide Andrea with the list of requested changes


ISC'11 :
Pina has sent a report about EMI booth at ISC'11. She highlights the
considerable number of contacts collected, and suggest to address them
in a more 'official' way, for instance via a mailing list. Pina also
suggest to use questions asked by booth visitors as base for a list of FAQs to
be published on the web site.   
Pina asks whether EMI could be interested to a booth for the next
year; Emidio will ask to PEB their opinion.

TNA2.3 :

DCISS : Kathryn reports that should be possible to reuse ISSGC's
integrating practicals, but this has to be tried, possibly using a
simpler or reduced set of input data, since students will have a minor
amount of time than the original one for whom the exercise had been
originally designed for. Kathryn proposes to check also if it could be
used the system for automatic upload of results.
Emidio and Kathryn agrees on having a daily
assessment about the progresses on the implementation of this exercise.

Kathryn asks Emidio if he has been able to find a tutor that could
care of CREAM installation at GridKa. Emidio answers that he didn't
yet, will do next week.

TNA2.4 :  

Diana reports that no progresses have been done on contacting
PRACE. Mathilde and Piotr suggest to go ahead. Diana says that she
will send on the list a draft mail for approaching them.  
Emidio asks Diana to provide an updated list of project to be
contacted, before the meeting with PO to be on July 14th.
