Technical Outreach areas Outreach with technical focus Support for Virtual Research Environments Joint activities with new communities Providing technical services NA2.5 - June 2013

Activities with new communities https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki  Projects Activity Discipline Delivered output (so far) EGI-EUDAT-PRACE pilots Earthquake and seismology (VERCE); Life sciences (VPH) Tools and best practices for complex workflows EISCAT_3D and EURO-ARGO study cases Environmental sciences (ESFRI cluster) Architecture for a data systems based on EGI tools EGI-DRIHM collaboration Hydrometeorology Architecture for a workflow portal based on EGI tools NGI-ELIXIR collaboration Life sciences (ESFRI) Social network (Recommended next steps) Technology study for CTA Astrophysics (ESFRI) Requirements from CTA to EGI Towards a CMMST VRC Chemistry, Molecular & Material Sciences Identified EGI services and applications that could support the VRC Speech on the Grid Speech processing Contacts to fragmented community B & E community Biodiversity and Environmental sciences Feedback on CRM system Fire and Smoke simulation Fire and smoke simulation Contacts to a small and fragmented community V i r t u a l T e a m S Points to make: We engage through VTs but also through other mechanisms (pilots, use cases, case studies) We work with various new scientific disciplines We work with many ESFRIs Not all projects are successful - reason of failure in the three projects: Project were organised from inside EGI, with no/little representation of the scientific community. NA2.5 - June 2013

Technical Outreach areas Outreach with technical focus Support for Virtual Research Environments Joint activities with new communities Providing technical services NA2.5 - June 2013

Support for Virtual Research Environments Categorise and promote software for VREs Science gateway frameworks, workflow tools, middleware services (in AppDB) Blog posts, articles, training slides (in TMP) Support uptake of the EGI Federated Cloud Entry page for new users (go.egi.eu/cloud) Investigative work for federated cloud use cases Support the setup of central services for EGI VOs GlobusOnline.eu Follow-up user community requirements (go.egi.eu/requirements) Helpdesk (NGIs), projects, TCB Solved 19, Endorsed but returned 8 NA2.5 - June 2013

Technical Outreach areas Outreach with technical focus Support for Virtual Research Environments Joint activities with new communities Providing technical services NA2.5 - June 2013

Technical services To facilitate information exchange among NGI support and outreach teams Community-specific support teams Project-specific support teams User communities and individual users EGI.eu staff Services from EGI-InSPIRE Applications Database Training Marketplace Client Relationship Management system NA2.5 - June 2013

Technical services 1: Applications Database Purpose: Facilitate software reuse: Recognition to applications, tools and their developers New features in PY3: Content quality management Broken link notification (~20/month) Outdated entries notification (12 month) New categories Science gateways, Workflows, Middleware products Repository features Primarily for Community Technology Providers Dissemination tool Messaging groups of developers/users Write API Third party integration (+ gadget) Redesigned front-end Top, latest, recently updated, ... http://appdb.egi.eu By type By discipline NA2.5 - June 2013

Technical Services 2: Training Marketplace Purpose: Recognition to training related activities and resources New features in PY3: Improved gadgets Local events, auto-resize, look&feel Usability improvements Permalinks to events Built-in descriptions Spam protection ReCAPTCHA module integrated Promotion ‘As a service’ for external projects A tool in EGI Webinars http://training.egi.eu NA2.5 - June 2013

Technical Services 3: Client Relationship Management system Purpose: Database to capture interactions with and needs of potential user communities Launched in PM19 New features in PY3: Customisations Data fields and associations Pre-defined searches, ... Metrics monitoring module Leads and discussions per NGI Projects without leads Leads to be interviewed, ... Promotion to NILs http://crm.egi.eu NA2.5 - June 2013

Uptake Applications Database: Training Marketplace: 45 new software entries (~slightly less additions than in PY2) Continuously growing and geographically dispersed visits Further increase in the use expected Repository and middleware support features (done) Support for Virtualised software (planned) Training Marketplace: Events part is heavily used (more than in EGEE) Client Relationship Management system: Use so far only in a few NGIs  Still needs to demonstrate value at a European level NA2.5 - June 2013

Community services Use of resources   Project Year 1 Project Year 2 Project Year 3 Project Year 1-3 Service Partner Worked PM Funded Committed PM Achieved PM % Applications Database IASA + GRNET 14.6 11.8 124% 8.4 71% 10.6 11.5 92% 33.6 35.1 96% Training Marketplace STFC 5.6 5.8 107% 3.9 3.6 7.7 7.3 105% 17.2 16.7 103% CRM CSIC + LIP 7.6 6.0 127% 9.1 6.1 149% 4.9 5.7 86% 21.6 17.8 121% Slight under reporting for IASA Difference will be compensated in PY4 Slight over reporting for STFC Over reporting for CSIC Maintenance and support will need less effort in PY4 NA2.5 - June 2013

Plans for next year High priority activities at EGI.eu: Joint activities with new communities Enable community contributions in the EGI Collaboration Platform Technical contributions to scientific events Intense work with the NIL, Champion and Technologist networks Technical services – functional features: AppDB: Support for virtualised services TMP: Rich filtering and customisation in all gadgets CRM: Further promotion and focus on user support Software quality programme: The programme will invite the developers and providers of user facing services from the EGI ecosystem to contribute to the EGI Collaboration Platform with services that meet the ‘5-star criteria’: User-centric: The service is connected the EGI production infrastructure (core, cloud or community) and simplifies the use of the production infrastructure by scientific communities. Generic: The service is discipline neutral, i.e. it can be used by scientists from any discipline. Open: The service can be configured for any EGI Virtual Organisation (grid or cloud or both types of Virtual Organisations). Online: At least one, centrally provided and production quality installation of the service exists for EGI. Supported: Up to date information, support contacts and materials are available about the service through the EGI Applications Database. The first ‘EGI 5-star services’ are expected to be Globus Online and some of the generic portal services, such as the SHIWA Simulation Platform, IGI Portal and DIRAC Portal. Because the EGI-InSPIRE project does not have budget to support the operation of 5-star services, these will have to be provided as external contributions. NA2.5 - June 2013

Summary Technical support for open, innovative, user-centric VREs: Intense work with many new communities These projects remain in the focus during PY4 Support for Virtual Research Environments New programme will define ‘quality standards’ for contributed software Outreach Webinar programme & contributions to scientific events Technical services Continued growth in use Development funding beyond EGI-InSPIRE still has to be secured NA2.5 - June 2013
