Notes
- Roadmap should be shaped by community with agreement from TAC (for big options); with primary focus on development
- Some NDS tasks aren't development tasks (e.g., demos, outreach, web content)
Development priorities:
- Making it easy to port a Docker image created on the Workbench to either commercial cloud or XSEDE resource
- Commercial cloud
- Example: Add Mongo or iRODs
- May need outreach (Earthcube, ESIP, MDBH, DIBBs)
- Focus on MOUs, maybe DIBBs/DataNETs
- Commercial cloud
- (Medium) Datasets that we've taken ownership of to demonstrate capabilities (e.g., DataDNS). Need a list of datasets in the repository. Need a place to demonstrate "DataDNS" or Whole Tale with addons.
- NBI; Moesta dataset at SDSC; RSL at SDSC (Kenton knows others)
- Want a list of datasets; perhaps launch analysis on those datasets.
- Ideally, traverse the data (ala Girder)
- DataDNS w/o compute
- Adding InCommon authentication/access. We not creating logins any more or creating passwords
- Big goals in next 6 mos to year
- Streamline ability to run a hackathon (decrease the amount of time required to prepare/support – net time savings)
- Industry partner: anything that we need to deploy off-site (private cloud or commercial account/site). Doesn't need to be turn-key – maybe we install.
- Open question: What functionality could we add for agency solicitation?
- Open question: Maintenance plan for upgrading Docker images
- Open question: Adding more applications to the workbench
- http://seedme.org/: DIBBS project, candidate to add to Workbench. DIBBS projects integrating with other DIBBs projects.
- Not Workbench related
- FRDR (Portage/Globus): Likely no development; on hold until we get go-ahead from consortium; follow existing approach
- Earthcube:
- Suave (visualization), notebook, run analysis, stuff some of that new derived data back into the original data source.
Questions:
- Website updates before SC17 or NDS8?
- At least once per month new content
- Single landing page to advertise to industry
- Website changes for NDS8 registration – first week of November (SC17)
- Re-do partners page
- Real usability – get someone to go through the website and see if it makes sense
- Make it easy for people to figure out how to consume
- Apply for a pilot
- Get a demo account on Workbench
- Update NDS Share (Data DNS verbiage – services to glue things, partnership with WT)
- Container workshop (events) with banner teaser
- ESIP partnership
- One tweet or re-tweet
- NDS Share and Santiago
- Not on the radar
- Where is the SEAD data?
- TERRA features
- If big, would be good to review
- Ability to secure data (strategic)
- LDAP: less strategic (get someone to support it)
- XSEDE JetStream
- Apply for access. Can't do anything with Industry.
- More than just NCSA/SDSC
- Backup/monitoring
- Outreach
- Presentation to Gateways
- Presentation to DIBBs
Other projects/outreach
- RDA: Summer schools in developing nations use Workbench
- Two weeks for summer school; currently running on local laptops;
- Would want to take the work they created and download
- Earthcube
- Everything's in our catalog; we have a custom catalog; can we get them to use it.
- Pilot with Illya?
- MBDH
- BBD/NBI: Continued outreach; listed on website; story about it; testamonials
- NDS/MBDH workshop (tools/methods co-hosted event)
- Einstein Toolkit
- ESIP
Other:
- Metabolomics Workbench: Ability to run on AWS. Christine to send use case information.
