4 Athens, 27-28 th May - 4 EGEE Regions

5 Athens, 27-28 th May - 5 NA3 objectives Producing a portfolio of training material and courses from introductory to advanced user material Using this material to train a wide variety of users both internal to the EGEE consortium and from the external user groups from across Europe who will make use of the infrastructure Ensuring that EGEE Team Spirit is engendered early in the project’s lifetime

6 Athens, 27-28 th May - 6 What is EGEE? A major EU FP6 project, second to GN2 A strategic priority for the EU Unification of past Grid efforts and projects Strengthening of the role of Europe in Grid developments on the worldwide scene European scientific community stands to benefit from these 300 FTEs for 2 years More than 1000 people actually involved A study in inter-national, inter-grouping project management

7 Athens, 27-28 th May - 7 TA requirement for courses Course TypeAverage Attendance Course Requirements Number per Year Induction 50 2 Day Web Access ≥ 10 Application Developer Training 25 4 Day Workstations ≥ 8 Advanced Courses 25 5 Day Workstations ≥ 2 Internal Technical Activity Specific Retreats 30 2 Day ≥ 6

8 Athens, 27-28 th May - 8 Training of trainers (internal) … to a level deeper than that at which they train. Training places demands on other activities, before the training burden can be lifted from them! Trainers are early users. Time Effort Trainers Developers

9 Athens, 27-28 th May - 9 Initial planning (internal) The initial training material for external courses, including tutorials and practical classes is being developed and managed by NeSC (UEDIN) with input from other EGEE teams Initial team focus: EGEE internal induction course First run 26-28 April at NeSC (for EGEE trainers and participants) Draft modules onto Web at the end of May Second run 18-20 May at CERN (for EGEE trainers and participants) Produce course in June: available as modules, as configurable days, as well as two-day course envisaged by Technical Annex

10 Athens, 27-28 th May - 10 Internal induction course: targets Induction courses will include:  Grids and their application  EGEE Project – context, history, goals, structure  EGEE Grid – current middleware, future technology  EGEE Project procedures – management, admin, website, where to find standards

11 Athens, 27-28 th May - 11 Internal induction course: course type 1 EGEE Member Induction (EMI) The aims of the EMI course are: participants understand the EGEE project recognise and support its goals understand its structure understand its technical choices in general terms become proficient users of project management tools (relevant for their work) become proficient users of basic EGEE facilities (if you don’t understand what the users use you can’t build or run things for users) This is what you are currently attending

12 Athens, 27-28 th May - 12 Internal induction course: course type 2 Grid Aware induction Addressed to supporting people from national projects, former FP5 projects and concurrent FP6 projects. Participants bear the following characteristics:  they are already motivated  they already have the concepts but not EGEE’s factoring and naming of them  they already have skills with some interfaces, tools, etc. but not necessarily EGEE’s  they require a fast introduction to project structure  they require a fast introduction to deployed EGEE service  hands-on experience of using EGEE service AP: Start looking for interested people or groups

13 Athens, 27-28 th May - 13 Internal induction course: course type 3 New Grid User Induction (NGUI) Addressed to users that can exploit EGEE infrastructure at all stages of the project. Participants might fall in one or more of the followin cases:  they now want to join a VO and require EGEE  they may be computational experts, e.g. have developed applications  they may be computationally inexperienced: –e.g. just want to run an application –e.g. a clinician interpreting or planning PET scan treatment  their motivation needs confirming  the concepts need introducing  they must experience VO mechanisms, such as Certificates  they must experience successful use of applications  application developers must also experience successful construction and commissioning of an application to run inside EGEE  application users must have had an experience during the course that not only equips them to run their work on the EGEE platform but which is subsequently supported by EGEE.  application developers must also have had an experience that carries forward well to real applications development for EGEE and remains supported AP: Start looking for interested people or groups

14 Athens, 27-28 th May - 14 Internal induction course: outline Resources available include: 2 day EDG tutorial GENIUS portal Demonstrations Tutorial material tested & available by end May: ~1 day on EGEE structure, procedures, goals, context, introduction to Grids, applications & technologies  Released to EGEE Intranet in May ~1 day on demonstrations, practicals with both GENIUS and command-line interfaces  Suited to new recruits especially; usable for external induction later. Modular, configurable resources will be on EGEE Intranet Trainers across EGEE will be mobilised to deliver these

15 Athens, 27-28 th May - 15 Application developer course A developer is a person who can be external to EGEE or be within EGEE, but who intends to build new applications that: run in the context of EGEE exploit EGEE facilities will become available to other EGEE users. The training will assume expert levels of programming in an application domain, but will not necessarily assume prior experience of Grids or Web Service Assistance needed from subject experts AP: Provide information on possible candidates so that courses can be planned.

16 Athens, 27-28 th May - 16 Training material (external) Introductory tutorials on necessary background (OGSI/GT3/etc.) Introductory tutorials on EGEE specifics Application development tutorials for end-users Hands-on tutorials regarding EGEE services use
