Task SA2.1 Training
Preparation for the following f2f events:
- EUDAT Summer School, EGI FedCloud theme, FORTH, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, 3-7/7/2017
- CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer School: http://indico.ictp.it/event/7974 (Contribute with a FedCloud tutorial), Trieste, 10-21/July/2017
Preparation for the following webinar events:
- Webinar about the Applications On Demand Platform (mainly for NGIs and their USTs)
- Demonstrate GPGPU resources in EGI for scientific applications
- Repeat (and improve) the webinar about the EGI Open Data Platform and DataHub
- Since the Workload Management System is coming to end-of-life, EGI is trying to push for the adoption of DIRAC. We are evaluation the possibility to have another webinar (depends on DIRACT staffing)
- EGI will organize fro NGIs a webinar on how to engage and work with industry.
- TBD: In collaboration with CNR we are planning to organize a webinar on how to use gCUBE (TBD).

Task SA2.6 DARIAH
Task SA2.7 LifeWatch
Task SA2.8 EISCAT_3D
Andrei Tsaregorodtsev of CNRS will do the debugging of the Dirac portal. This means that there will not be much development for the rest of the project. The RT system is used to raise these debug requests and that works well. CSC is investigating how to add a more heavy EISCAT processing using a c-library doing lagprofiling of the L1 data into L2. This can possibly be done in a docker, but also a regular batch routine with provided parameters. Umea and EISCAT have met to finalise the EISCAT_3D data model, now that the first radar parts are becoming ready. A couple of dedicated f2f meetings are planned in May together with EISCAT_3D engineers to work out a database friendly data structure.
Task SA2.9 EPOS
