Minutes
Glenna SG 15-09. Approval of agenda
(5 mins)
Decision:
Approved
Glenna SG 15-10. Cloud storage proposal
(50 mins) Original DeIC proposal:
Proposal for new Glenna workpackage(page 8):
Background: WP1 was originally intended to be the WP where the project would investigate cloud environments (OpenStack, Eucalyptus, OpenNebula etc), but due to the fact that all countries are focusing on OpenStack, the project has come to the conclusion that there is little need to focus time and effort on this task since most countries have already selected their platform of choice. Consequently we feel it would make sense to terminate WP1 and replace it with the new cloud storage WP.
Project leader's proposal:
- 1) SG decides to approve introducing the cloud storage WP subtasks into the Glenna project
- 2) SG approves: terminating the current WP1 "IaaS in Nordic Countries (Knowledge sharing Openstack"); WP1 subtask T1.1 "Knowledge sharing between the participating centers" will move to WP3
- 3) SG approves: introduction of new Glenna workpackage: WP1 Cloud Storage
The Steering group is invited to discuss the subtask proposals and decide on approve / modify / not approve the cloud storage WP according to the proposal.
Discussion:
Already allocated PM:s will have to be distributed.
Decision:
Decision items 1), 2) and 3) approved. No new (additional) PM:s will be allocated to the project. Project leader to investigate and propose re-allocation of existing PM:s with the concerned individuals in each country.

Project leader's proposal:
- Steering group decides to approve GANTT timetable for the Glenna project
The Steering group is invited to discuss the proposal and decide on approve/ modify/ not approve the revised project timetable.
Discussion:
Dan presented the GANTT chart
Decision:
The SG took notice of the proposed GANTT chart. Plans for the use cases should be added to the chart and also Task 1.1 should be added to the timeline for WP3.
Glenna SG 15-12. AOB
