E3DS Project status
Background
Discussion
Question... how much involvement from Janos Nagy (NSC, SE) and Andreas Jaunsen (NO)?
Have had telephone conference with each to bring up to speed on the EISCAT_3D project. Janos attended the Stakeholder meeting in Dec 2017. Future involvement foreseen? In a capacity to be decided.
Decisions
The status of the E3DS project is noted and accepted.
Review of the Action list
Background
Discussion
The action list... is this the best way to keep the list? The wiki table is tedious and a bit cumbersome. An Open-Source reminder system would be nice.
Decisions
Check at the AHM meeting on how other projects handle "action lists".
Document MA-4 (Procurement-compatible solutions for data centres)
Background
See slides from E3DS project status.
Discussion
Craig: Are these links on the MA-4 document page links to internal documents?
John: These are documents received by email from the providers (UiT/UNINETT,CSC,HPC2N/SNIC) and therefore have been copied to the NeIC internal wiki page and linked from there. Agree it would be better to be able to link to external documents as these may be updated.
Decisions
Document to proceed.
Document MC-3 (Report on possible solutions for recruitment of the different experts needed for construction and commissioning of EISCAT_3D)
Background
See slides from E3DS project status.
The document is mostly written, received input from UiT, NT1/HPC2N and LOFAR (promised). A draft is available at:
https://wiki.neic.no/int/E3DS-MC-3-Document
Still need to clarify some points from NT1. Holidays have got in-between.
Discussion
Tomasz: There's the line between computing system and network missing in Figure 1.
John: Will get Lennart/Carl-Fredrik to correct this.
Craig: Section 5.2 ... you will add more?
John: Yes, once I hear from LOFAR...
Decisions
Document to proceed.
Document Discussion - MD-1 (Report on the requirements for the EISCAT_3D data archive)
Background
See slides from E3DS project status.
Discussion
Craig: Will this be done by nect Monday?
John: No... still need time for typing. Information collected but still needs to be rendered into format.
Decisions
Document to proceed. Approval by email once reviewed.
Document Discussion MD-2 (Report on requirements for user’s access to the data archive)
Background
See slides from E3DS project status.
Discussion
Craig: This idea to incorporate into the FIM4R document... I hope there's not risk that they will change our use-case and requirements?
John: That's a valid point. But we/I will give the use-case and requirements from the start. Reviewed by EIACAT_3D members. Ingemar already in contact with AARC-2 project. (We have phone conference Friday 12th January)
Decisions
Proceed to collaborate with the FIM4R document.
Stakeholder meeting wrap-up
Background

Discussion
Any need to change the format?
Not seen... these are some of the better meetings in general.

When do we have the next meeting? Currently scheduled for right before the NorduNet conference in Sept 2018. (Agreement)
