  2. Activity overview 2 2

  3. NA3 objectives in EGEE-III Activity objectives Expand and refine the training material and courses, to provide training resources for an ever-widening range of Grid applications. Train a wide variety of users, within EGEE consortium & outside users of other middleware. Develop mechanisms for passing on knowledge to end-users of EGEE related projects. Expand online learning services, meeting the needs of an expanded project and larger user-base. Support the provision of t-Infrastructure on the GILDA testbed by developing/maintaining training resources to cover diverse range of application scenarios. Priorities in 2nd year Scalability and sustainability Autonomous national training groups established at every NGI Integration of t-Infrastructure into production infrastructure Continuation of training services in EGI is ensured 3

  6. Geographical spread of events 185 events in EGEE-III 80 separate locations worldwide 2312 participants Training designated as a NGI task http://bit.ly/EGEEtrainingmap 6

  7. Breakdown by event type Average evaluation score of events is 5.1 (out of 6) 7

  8. EGEE collaboration events 8

  9. Model for learning - IWSGC eLearning school eLearning event with collaboration between gLite, Globus, UNICORE, Condor Resources • 4 technology weeks • ~17 hours per week (student average) • 35 Participants 9

  10. ISSGC’09 • International Summer School in Grid Computing 2009 • Sophia Antipolis, France, 5-17 July • Major collaboration event: 58 sessions • 45 participants • EGEE Involvement: • gLite: major technologies • GILDA: testbed for most of the practical sessions • NA3 members on program committee and trainers’ group • CNRS - local organiser 11

  11. Services for sustainable training • Accreditation of trainers • All the 29 NA3 partner NGIs are self-sufficient in terms of training • Training contact for 72% of all the NGIs • GILDA VO is now part of the production infrastructure • No difference in the maintenance of a production and a training site • NGIs can contribute to training VO with production sites • Training support services continue in EGI • Digital library • Training event database • Trainer registry • GILDA VO central services 12

  12. Development of EGEE trainers • Training the trainers events • Provide partner autonomy • Experts ensure quality of message • Trainer accreditation • Peer approval • Details of training experience • Currently 134 trainers 13

  13. Location of accredited trainers (Current; increase in Y2) 1 1 16 +1 7 3 +3 3 2 1 5 7 17 5 2 1 Taiwan – 8 Australia – 1 Japan – 1 +16 1 7 2 15 3 8 6 5 +2 +3 +5 4 2 15

  14. GILDA t-Infrastructure 13 site ~1100 cpu • GILDA is now one VO of the EGEE production infrastructure • Availability and reliability of sites over 90% • GILDA CA inserted in EugridPMA bundle 16

  15. GILDA t-Infrastructure Available for grid training – 24/7 Bookable for training events (also for commercial events) Year 1: 85 events Year 2: 84 events Available for application prototyping and porting Applications can be migrated to scientific VOs Documentation and facilities offered at different levels Example: 17

  16. Digital library - updates Rebranding Improved Search & Filter New eLearning modules Contains now over 6900 learning resources! (>100 videos) 19

  17. Issues to resolve in EGI • Not all the NGIs have accredited trainers • Are these countries self-sufficient in term of training? • Keeping trainer registry up to date • Not all the accredited trainers are in the people registry • How and when to modify/remove a trainer registration? • Keeping the critical number of sites in the training VO

  18. Summary 185 training events delivered, and with wider geographical coverage than anticipated, well above target metrics Support services continuously enhanced during EGEE-III, in response to need for greater scalability and usability Expanding trainer base in NGIs to ensure sustainable training in EGI Training infrastructure services are operated by EGI as „NGI Global tasks” 21
