Glenna2 SG 18-36. Project Report
Report: https://wiki.neic.no/w/ext/img_auth.php/a/ad/Glenna2_Project_Status_2019-05-08.pdf
Updated project plan: https://wiki.neic.no/w/ext/img_auth.php/7/7d/Glenna2_Project_Plan.pdf
Projectmanager down at 50% engagement as of March.
CSC gain from aim2: Spark integration into OpenShift.
Discussion: Is there interest in testing hybrid cloud portal i.e. as a managed service concept? All billing typically contained in the portal.
Dellingr using Waldur Open Source software (ETAIS).
NO: UH-Sky ended last year, but looked at SE solution for MSP.
What is the point of having this on top of commercial clouds? ES is selling this to their government.
Decision: On msp proposal: Dan to send an email to Ingemar and CC Andreas, NO: Olav to pass this on to UNET. The proposal is of interest as it stands for a more permanent collaboration beyond the scope of Glenna2.
Glenna2 SG 18-37. Anchoring decision approval project plan
https://wiki.neic.no/wiki/File:Glenna2_Project_Plan.pdf
Glenna2 SG 18-38. Status Icelandic contribution
SE would have more staff for AI pilot call.
NO: Replacement for G.: Struggling filling position, but still working on the issue.
Decision: IS is still trying to replace the staff, but SE will also try to acquire more staff for aim3 target4 for up to 4,8 PMs including matching funding.
Glenna2 SG 18-39. Benefit realisation: Links to Géant WP4T3 and lifting outcomes to a Nordic level
Benefit realisation plan (needs to be read in context with business change document) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I4xtDdl78lQvtWBsNC9mDoBps5RecHuN/view
Discussion: Advertising per se not in conflict with NeIPs, but needs to assert on what to advertise, much focus within Glenna2
on strengthening national efforts.
Go and build a resource (like a common data centre) and offer it in the different countries, this could be marketed.
Getting access to resources on Nordic level (This is more related to Dellingr, though).
Glenna2 SG 18-40. DP checklist and business case

Discussion: Easily increasing netgain by using prototype outcomes in one country, as seen.
Uptake leads to clear benefit realisation. More usage means more benefits.
The number of prototypes is impressive.
There are synergies between NIRD and Rahti,but they are smaller than could be expected.
Glenna2 SG 18-41. Reminder: Bills need to be sent regularly to NeIC
Bills have to be sent regularly to NeIC (every 3 or 4 months). Not claimed reserved co-funding will be reclaimed by NeIC after one year.
