5. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 UMD Release Team The URT is a proposed new task within SA2 to fill the gap created by the end of EMI and IGE Integrate the releases of individual product teams and platform integrator into UMD Coordinate a periodic (bi-weekly or monthly) phone call with the PTs and the platform integrators –Collect upcoming release plans from PTs –Support for the integration activities of the PTs (to ensure that new releases do not break existing products) –Track the progresses in fixing urgent bugs (security vulnerabilities) –Communicate general requirements to PTs, and get their feedback The effort to run this task has been estimated as 0.5FTE The effort may be variable depending on the number of products integrated in UMD, and the number of Platform Integrators UMD software provisioning (including verification and integration in a single release) has a cost, the full UMD process must be applied for products where the added value is beneficial for the infrastructure

7. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Conclusions After the end of EMI and IGE, UMD needs a new structure to be scalable with more PIs who are less coordinated (more independent) than before Proposed new task (URT) to carry out the coordination activities necessary for inclusion of stable platform releases within UMD SA2.2 and SA2.3 can run with a smaller effort –If a more loose verification process for a subset of the current UMD set of products is acceptable
