10. Integrate Federation Identity Login Deploy ACEPRD Plant Repository
Future plans
Enhance Plant Repository search by integrating the OAR Search Engine API
Ensure user authorizations and authentications are done properly
Ensure download links work
Integrate Federation Identity Login
Deploy ACEPRD Plant Repository
Raise awareness at our institution on how to make research open and replicable 10

11. During past few days we have gained a lot!
Summary and Conclusions
During past few days we have gained a lot!
Knowledge of best practises such as continuous integration during development using Stackshare.io, Git and GitHub
Knowledge of technologies open to us to make our science more open and replicable
Future Gateway
Open Access Repository (OAR)
GLibrary and so on 11
