  3. Antipasti EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  4. WP Summary – NA1 • Project restructuring in place • Strategic Director appointed, NA3 created • Grant Agreement amendment agreed with partners • Started discussions on sustainability and open source initiative with NA3 and partners EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  5. WP Summary – NA2 • Review recommendations being implemented • New web site in progress, calendar of events being prepared and implemented • More pro-active dissemination necessary • Participation of all project members • More regular and active production of material necessary, look for additional expertise (ECB recommendation) EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  6. WP Summary – NA3 • WP established, operation started • Focus on sustainability and long-term strategies • Coordinate discussions around open source initiative • Standardization • Clarification of cloud/virtualization strategy (ECB recommendation) • Partners interested in joining the sustainability discussions are welcome EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  7. WP Summary – SA1 • Release and support processes in place • Changes required to introduce SL6 and Debian 6 have been discussed • Steps to move to better EPEL/Debian compliance defined • Interest to become official packagers from several people, need to start the process now, PT to take ownership of packaging by EMI 2 EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  8. WP Summary – SA2 • Changes for multiple platforms to policies, dashboards, reports • Central place to tell which client to use for each build, more information requested on how to use the tools • Clarify probes on the testbed • Multi-platform testbed (Tools? Frozen VM?) • Refine metrics in support of tech/release plans (e.g. Rpmlint) EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  9. WP Summary – JRA1 • Tracker in place and used, all area tasks and all 2011 cross-area tasks defined • Several unclear cross-area objectives have been clarified • Impact of cloud requirements on JRA1 to be clarified • But there are too many tasks! • Several EMI2-planned developments will have to continue in Y3, need to cut in Y3 EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  10. Secondi EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  11. Consolidation • Major EMI objective • Most areas have plans and have started implementation • Situation of Compute Area was more controversial • Focus on APIs • Reduction of SLOC as only metric probably not realistic, consider also deployment, usage simplification EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  12. New services and Features • Status of new services an features presented • STS, security simplifications, Info systems, Messaging, Accounting • Good progress presented • Open issues identified • Recommendation to understand what can be done within EMI, development must finish early enough to release the services and support them EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  13. Porting to SL6 and Debian 6 • Start now on EMI 1 components • Find problems as soon as possible, experience made now on EMI 1 is necessary for EMI 2 • Do not mix porting and packaging, they are separate issues • EMI 1 components ready for sl6 can be released, the rest must come with EMI 2 EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  14. Integration Testing • Integration testing not clear • Appoint an integration team • Definition and prioritization of integration tests • Execution of tests • Composed of PT testers with an overall leader • A proposal for composition roles made • Volunteers welcome within a week, then a decision should be taken EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  15. Virtualization and Cloud • We do not fully understand the users interest in cloud and what they are really looking for • Before spending effort on implementation, understand user needs and whether they can be addressed with what we have, either in EMI or within current EMI partners (ECB recommendation) • Modify technical plan accordingly EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  16. Sustainability and Open Source • Basic EMI Sustainability lies in making sure existing communities keep using EMI services and support them after EMI • Going beyond that requires the creation of a different structure able to offer an open source marketplace to increase visibility of individual products and a stable focal point for innovation and collaboration • To be better defined in the coming months EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova

  17. Dolci EMI 3rd All-Hands Meeting, Padova
