  EC Project Reports:
  
  WP2 Milestone M2.2: Initial pilot data lake with at least 3 sites
  
  Means of verification: progress report, active monitoring of the activity (web site
  
  Due date: 31st July
  
  ESCAPE Technical report planning
  
  10 August 2020 – WP leads provide individual reports to WP1
  
  31 August 2020 – Final draft ready to be shared with General Assembly and EEAB
  
  11 September 2020 – Deadline for EGA and EEAB to provide feedback and comments
  
  21 September 2020 – Final versions ready to be submitted.
  
  We are kindly asking to:
  
  All partners to provide a brief summary of hiring and FTE commitments in WP2 and brief summary of the activities you are involved in WP2.
  
  Thanks to those that already sent the report to us!
  
  Task leads to provide a short high level summary of status and plans. Do not forget to mention contributions to conferences, webinars, articles, etc.
  
  LOFAR Task Force: at the last EB proposed a task force across WP(2,3 and 5) for the LOFAR demonstrator. Kick-off meeting today 15 July among task leads and ESCAPE Technical Coordinator.
  
  Proposal: LOFAR as cross-WP task force
  
  Propose to have the LOFAR use case (which is in a quite advance status) as a driver to initiate a task force among WP2, WP3 and WP5 to finish a demonstrator by Feb 2021 (+2 years of the project).
  
  This could be a good input for the progress report due in Oct/Nov.
  
  Three main points:
  
  LOFAR Data stored in the datalake on different sites with different replication policies
  
  LOFAR Software available from the ESCAPE repos, ready to be access/shipped/downloaded to the processing nodes (hundreds of MB)
  
  Running workflows in the ESAP, demonstrate data IO from/to the datalake
  
  This also could be the way to quickly enable later on same demonstrators LSST, CTA, EGO/VIRGO and TSPs.
