  1. Sustainability plans for the activities of the Heavy User Communities – D6.2 Jamie.Shiers@cern.ch Maria.Girone@cern.ch

  2. Overview • What this EGI deliverable is about • Why this presentation at the WLCG MB • Proposed Way forward (how to write it…)

  3. D6.2 • D6.2 is one of 3 “deliverables” that SA3 “Services for Heavy User Communities” has to write each year, along with • D6.1 “Capabilities offered by the HUCs” • D6.3 “Annual report on HUC tools & services” • Plus numerous milestones, quarterly, yearly and other reports… • MS601 HUC contact points; • MS602 HUC s/w roadmap; • MS603 Services for HEP etc. • It should address how the transition to a “sustainable support model”, i.e. the post-EGI era, with or without EU funding, is – or will be – achieved

  4. Why this presentation? • Clearly, both the support that is provided during the lifetime of the project as well as longer term strategies need to be consistent with the needs of the experiments and WLCG • The strategy needs to be prepared together – and relatively rapidly as the deliverable is due end January 2011 • A document that has implications on long-term support clearly has to have the agreement of all stakeholders

  5. Who? What? • Jamie Shiers • Maria Girone • Fernando Barreiro Megino • Elisa Lanciotti • Roberto Santinelli • RaffaelloTrentadue • Daniele Spiga • Alex Loth • Julia Andreeva • Edward Karavakis • KubaMosciki • Dan van derSter • INFN1 • INFN2 – to be started rapidly Can claim 40% of costs TSA3.1: Activity Management (Jamie Shiers, CERN) TSA3.2: Shared Services & Tools (Jamie Shiers) TSA3.3: Services for HEP (Maria Girone) TSA3.4: Services for LS (Johan Montagnat, CNRS) TSA3.5: Services for A&A (Claudio Vuerli, INAF) TSA3.6: Services for ES (Horst Schwichtenberg, SCAI) TSA3.2: 60PM funded CERN TSA3.3: 60PM funded via INFN, 150PM funded CERN Total SA3 CERN = 343 including “matching” funding.

  6. How? • The current plan is to base the HEP part of the document on a structure introduced in a previous MS “Services for HEP” • This categorizes the services / support into Monitoring, Analysis Tools & Support, Data Management, Persistency & Conditions • We (the people working on EGI-InSPIRE SA3) foresee describing the current “projects” / “sub-projects” in these areas and their likely evolution • There will be an introduction motivating funding in these areas, as well as for multiple VOs / disciplines (the “HUCs”) • We expect to have a first draft later this week and a more complete one end next (current outline attached to agenda) • After that, integration of contributions from other communities and then submission to the review process

  7. Summary • This deliverable will help us argue for future funding, even if the outcome is by no means guaranteed (and likely lower than today…) • There will be annual updates, plus the possibility to pass additional messages e.g. at the project reviews • We need to prepare for the project end (April 2013) and understand how the needed activities can be continued at the required level • Whilst making maximum benefit from this effort during the project lifetime
