Technical Outreach to New Communities
NA2.5
- NILs contacts (wiki, web tables, SSO group validation/updates)
- user support map contacts/details validation and requests for the updates
AppDB (19/11/2013)
- Outdated sw items has been enabled into production
- A monthly email is sent to sw entry owners after 3 years of inactivity.
- 'Freshness' option has been added to the faceted search mechanism.
- First steps for personalize the home page of the logged in users, have been made [1].
- A structure for the Scientific classification API has been proposed to EGI [2]. Waiting for feedback in order to start the implementation.
Ongoing tasks:
- Integration with the Operation portal secured API, in order to get each user roles (this info will be needed for the VO image lists management)
- Investigating alternative Authentication mechanisms to cover the login process into our service (Portal + API). The selected approach should offer the ability for the user to login either using his egi sso username/password or his personal certificate. The aim is the final solution to be expandable to third-party authentication sources as well (i.e. facebook etc.)
Next tasks:
- Fetching user details from VOMS servers about their VO membership.
- Change the authentication mechanism based on the outcome of the investigation that we are currently performing.
- Extend the authorization module in our system in order to map VO related permissions to the existed of future user profiles.
- Implement a separate permissions tab for every registered sw/va item, from where the owner could set/unset by whom the given item will be accessible and/or managed.
- Extend the software (not the VAs) items metadata in order the user to be able to set the license under which an item is available.

Summary
- The rOCCI framework reached 90% QA and testing coverage, which led to a further set of discovered and fixed bugs. Both dummy and reference backend are 90% complete.
- The A/R reporting component now aggregates values according to HEPSPEC.
TSA4.1 - Management
- weekly reports
- assembling QR14 report and contributions
TSA4.2 - MOOC
bi-weekly reporting
TSA4.3 - Liferay
TSA4.4 - OCCI for CMF
rOCCI framework
- test coverage almost done (> 90 %)
- fixed a hand-full of critical bugs discovered while developing the new rOCCI-server
- improved error handling and reporting
rOCCI-server
- still working on a reference backend, towards the first alpha version
- dummy backend 90 % done
- continuously adding docs and unit tests (specs) for implemented features
- server now correctly responds to basic OCCI commands with the dummy backend!
ToDo for next week
- finish up the dummy backend for rOCCI-server
- start porting the OpenNebula backend for rOCCI-server
- in parallel, continue fixing bugs in rOCCI-core
Problems
- discovered another batch of bugs in rOCCI-core affecting critical functionality of rOCCI-server; see ToDo
Delays
- Still approx. one month (== Florian's contribution), no further delay
TSA4.5 - CDMI in CMF
Progress:
- cli first version, finishing tests before pushing to public repo (STOX-22) - debugging issue related to file cleanup (STOX-25) - EUDAT API discussion with EPCC (STOX-30)
Plans for the next period:
- Implement fine grained metadata property retrieval (STOX-24) - Setup demo instance for testing (STOX-27), hopefully on a new KTH OpenStack, plan B - AWS. - Continue with EUDAT API (STOX-30)
Problems we encounter, but can solve:
- 1.75 month delay caused by effort rescheduling
Problems and issues we need external help with:
None.
TSA4.6 - OCCI CompClouds
Progress
- Upgraded OCCI connector to SlipStream v2. This is being deployed on a test system this week for testing. - Upgraded version committed to GitHub - Need to complete OCCI connector on fedcloud services (ongoing)
Problems we encounter, but can solve:
None
Problems and issues we need external help with:
None
TSA4.7 - AppDeployment
Progress
- built vm image for computational chemistry users
- talking with astrophysics users, the services may suit their needs
- built cloud-init debian package
- improving documentation
Plans for next week:
- development of fronted
TSA4.8 - CloudCapabilities
Progress:
- Discussed next steps about BNCweb use case. Unfortunately, a telephone conference had to be canceled. A new date has not been found yet.
- Posted to EGI Blog about shrinking images for easier distribution and deployment. This lead to a short discussion about how to deal with Windows images. Obviously, there is a demand for this.
- Exploring BioVel image to see whether our suggestions have been followed, particularly data provisioning
- Checking PeachNote image for a rarely observed problem of loosing IP addresses. This could not be verified at Juelich. ICMP Ping only lost packets while the VM was rebooting.
- Contacted CSGF whether they're happy.
Plans for next week
- PeachNote telephone conference & follow-up work
- Prepare Blog post about cloud application architecture (particularly storage options)
Problems we encountered, but can solve in the mini-project:
None
Problems and issues we need external help with:
None
TSA4.9 - VAPOR
bi-weekly reporting
TSA4.10 - CompReports
Progress:
- [Ops] Completed: Removed stomp.py from the Koji building service (it is provided now by EPEL)
- [Ops] Completed: New package for the A/R sync component
- [Ops] Completed: Update the stomp.py library on the production instance
- [Ops] Started: License & Copyright
- [Sync] Completed: Use the latest version of stomp.py that resolved the issue about the missing data from the consumer
- [Sync] Completed: Reference implementation of the hep spec components
- [Sync] Completed the component for retrieving VO topology
- [WebAPI] Completed: Support configuration from an external file
- [CompEng] Started: Background work for supporting the use of Availability Profiles in the computations
- [CompEng] Started: Background work for supporting the use of custom factors in the Availability Profiles
- [WebUI] Started: Web page to compare the results between CERN and us at any time
- [Ops]: Started: Prepare requirements list for the task force
- [Ops]: Started: Installation of Lavoisier on ~Okeanos
Plans for next sprint
