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  • Outdated sw items has been enabled into production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

TSA4.7 - AppDeployment

Progress:
  • built vm image for computational chemistry users
  • talking with astrophysics users, the services may suit their needs
