NA3.3N | Requirements Gathering | The collection of requirements has an increased activity peak near the Tecnological Providers deadlines so that they can start their development cycles. The time frames and the procedures for setting requirements were clearly explained and broadcasted through the available regional channels. Nevertheless, the NGI may not be aware of all the requirements set by their community members since in the way it is currently implemented, everyone with a valid sso account can set a requirement. In this sense it is a process that it is hard to control and duplication of requirements can easily occur. After a requirement is set, it is difficult to follow it up and check the final outcome of it. | 3 | Ask community members to inform the NGI management in CC about all the requirements they set. Provide dashboard (maybe via RT) for the different NGIs so that they can easily check a summary of the tickets under their scope. |
NA3.3N | Application Database | The information about how to profit from the AppDB was broadcasted among the users, and during the past year, a total of 4 new applications were added. | 3 | Try to estimulate further registration of community applications in the AppDB. It is not clear, from my perspective, the real impact of adding an application, and some real benifits of using the Appdb should be shown so that the community could be more estimulated to participate. This is a job that has to be done both at global level and at NGI level. |
NA3.3N | Training Marketplace | At this level, we can only access the usability of the tool. It is not a tool that I think it is easy to use. For example, users complain they can not easily find events held in their region. | 3 | Try to estimulate further registration of events in the Training Marketplace. The search functionality should be enhanced to guarantee better usability and easy access to data. |
NA3.3N | Consultancy | Some of the activities at this level seem to overlap with the user community support tasks recently migrated to TSA1.7. User support, in our mind, is part of continuous consultancy, and therefore, i think the project restructuring at this level brought more confusion than it cleared things out. Regarding our work at this level, we have provided consultancy for Portuguese Researcher who approach us searching for resources. We have developed frameworks or so that they can take better profit from the infrastructure. So the rating is address to the quality of work than we did rather than to the confusion that the project restructuring generated. | 4 | The consultancy and support is currently focused on national researchers with needs of computing resources. A new step could be to approach Portuguese institutions participating in ESFRIs. This seems to be the way EGI is going, and some coordination with EGI central bodies could be necessary. |
