Management boards

  • Technology Coordination Board (TCB)
    The TCB governs the overall process of technology evolution through negotiating formal agreements with Technology Providers who are responsible for the constant delivery of software according to the requirements developed and specified by the EGI Community (End users ans Operations). Members of the TCB are members of the executive management of EGI.eu, representing the EGI User Community, the EGI Operations Community, and EGI Software Provisioning activity. Furthermore, key representatives of affiliated Technology Providers partake meetings of the TCB providing input, guidance and feedback from software engineering experts within their teams.
  • Quality Assurance Task Force (QATF)
    The Quality Assurance Task Force provides a forum for specialists in Quality Assurance from EGI and affiliated Technology Providers as a regular forum for continuous review and improvements of the Quality Criteria defined within EGI.
  • Automation Task Force (ATF)
    The Automation Task Force coordinates the technical processes and integration points for Technology Providers and EGI's technical implementation of the Software Provisioning process. Experts in process automation, repository maintenance and software provisioning from EGI and its affiliated Technology Providers define the processes and artifacts required to sustain continuous software provisioning on EGIs production infrastructure.
