Milestones & Deliverables


Task NA2.1 Communication and Dissemination


Task NA2.2 Strategy, Business Development and Exploitation

  • Strategy
    • Preparation doc from survey for EGI Council (29 June)
    • Policy brief to update the EGI Council on service portfolio changes
  • IMS Updates
    • IMS Ops Meeting (Sy, Yannick, Mal) - 27 May
    • Several updated through IMS by many
    • 1st of 3 Internal audits for EGI IMS on the 30th of June in preparation to the audit conducted by TUV in November; first will focus on the ITSM processes. All have been informed and is planned. Thomas will be in Amsterdam.
  • FitSM
    • Conducted 2 Open Registration courses
      • Advanced SOC (Enol and Tiziana)
      • Expert
        • 6 participants (5 from EGI, 1 from CSC)
    • In-house discussions ongoing: EBI and SURFsara


Task NA2.3 SME/Industry Engagement and Big Data Value Chain

  • BDVA
    • General Assembly last week and group meetings
    • iSpaces redefinition was also revised which now also includes Federations. Formal accreditation process in place. EGI who was originally rejected as federations weren’t covered, we are now able to “reapply” in the context of “Federation”. The process will be straightforward. A ceremony for iSpace labels within the Big Data Forum [roberta to add where and when]. This is important as there are dedicated funding streams for iSpaces

White paper on EO big data generation (currently writing)
