Summary
- MOOC progresses with assembling the course material, but has some issues with temporary grid certificates.
- Liferay is working towards a replacement module for the EGI blog
- rOCCI is extending the test coverage on the framework, and a number of skeleton APIs reflecting the adjusted objectives (as also reported in MS801)
- Contextualisation/AppdDeployment is testing the new OpenStack Horizon release for compatibility.
- The CloudCaps project works on new documentation and publications, and works with WeNMR on updated images.
- The CompReports project is currently validating results for September 2013, self-check mechanisms and custom filters.
TSA4.1 - Management
- compiling weekly reports
- finishing adjusting objectives for TSA4.4 (volunteer developers had left)
TSA4.2 - MOOC
- recorded & edited two use cases
- reworked slides on grid certificates
- added content to storage on grid
- created WS-PGrade exercises
- created new version of VM
- We're experiencing some issues with temporary grid certificates which don't allow us to save data on dcache. Our sysadmins and the dcache developers are looking into this.
TSA4.3 - Liferay
- INFN - work done
- SZTAKI - no report, but agreed to attend a videoconf next week
- CESNET - still working on hooks for EGI blog replacement
TSA4.4 - OCCI for CMF
rOCCI framework
- extended test coverage to improve QA on rOCCI-core
- a bunch of bug fixes improving OCCI rendering, attribute validation and error handling in rOCCI-core
rOCCI-server
- implemented a skeleton of the internal backend API (Core <-> BackendManager)
- implemented a skeleton of the OCCI-parsing module
- started implementing a reference backend
ToDo for next week
- continue working on rOCCI-server integration with rOCCI-core and back-ends
- in parallel, continue extending test coverage on rOCCI framework, primarily rOCCI-core
Problems
- None (yet :-))
Delays
- Still approx. one month (== Florian's contribution), no further delay
- Postponed fixes for non-critical rOCCI-* bugs reported during Cloud Plugfest, to minimize the delay
- Implemented changes proposed in MS801, to minimize the delay
TSA4.5 - CDMI in CMF
