  - a) ASTRON
    
    Staffing:
    
    Limited availability from Zheng for the next few weeks. We'll try to make progress without her!
    
    MS30 completed:
    
    MS30: Deployment of initial set of ESFRI software on prototype platform
    
    Text prepared by Zheng Meyer-Zhao, December 2020. Submitted to Jayesh Wagh, January 2021.
    
    Milestone 30 was reached upon deploying a set of ESFRI software through the interactive data analysis interface on the prototype platform.
    
    In the current version of the prototype platform, workflows take the form of Jupyter Notebooks. Examples developed at CSIC-IAA, ASTRON, and JIVE can be explored through Binder, a project that offers an easy place to share computing environments and enables workflow reproducibility by sharing the workflow and its environment through a single link.
    
    The interactive interfaces also connects to the various JupyterHub instances deployed by ESCAPE ESFRI partners, including SKAO, ASTRON, IFAE-PIC and CERN.
    
    The interface also allows users to connect to:
    
    the EGI DIRAC instance, where LOFAR and KM3Net data processing can be performed, and
    
    the CTA DIRAC instance.
    
    More information regarding the interactive data analysis interface can be found online at https://sdc.astron.nl/esap-gui/interactive.
  - b) CERN
    
    Presentation on the WP5 AAI Workshop (link) on 19/1, topic is RUCIO integration with the ESCAPE AAI
  - c) CNRS-LAPP
  - d) CSIC
  - e) CTAO
    
    Leading DIRAC Focus group.
    
    Helped initiate and involved in WP3+5 crossover meetings.

  - f) EGO
  - g) FAIR
  - h) FAU
    
    Continuing to work on WP3+WP5 link
    
    next common call for WP3+WP5 link: suggested for Tue 26th Jan at 16:00 CET
    
    trying to get discussions started in this "coordination project": https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/escape2020/wp3-wp5-common-issues
    
    use the "onboarding" to link your software products to the OSSR: https://wiki.escape2020.de/index.php/WP3_-_OSSR#OSSR_onboarding
    
    Note: upcoming workshop on "Innovative Workflows in Astro- & Particle Physics", open for registration here: https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/20424/
  - i) IFAE
  - j) INAF
  - k) JIVE
    
    Hardware for Jupyterlab environment ordered. When delivered will connect to IAM to provide CASA based Jupyter kernels for processing European VLBI Network data using an experimental notebook pipeline.
  - l) KIS
  - m) Nikhef
  - n) RUG
  - o) SKAO
  - p) UCM
  - q) UEDIN
    
    Nothing major to report for this meeting.
    
    Plan to catch-up with WP5 IDA members this month to discuss progress. We've been continuing our experiments with JupyterHub on Kubernetes, and reviewing dev work that needs to take place for the IDA component of WP5.
