Activities

• EOSC-Future update. "last" consortium meeting on Monday, revised proposal to be sent today/tomorrow. 
• During the last month we gathered information from experiments and partner sites to know individual goals and objectives. The roadmap is quite clear and the commonality of interests is big. Strong synergies across the experiments and partner sites.
• Program of Work for ESCAPE 2nd phase second phase almost finished. Focused and very challenging. To be cristalysed on a full scale exercise by end November, the codename is DAC21 (Data and Analysis Challenge)
• WP2/WP5 joint workshop: 6th and 7tf of April 13:00 to 17:00 
• Commercial clouds, ephemeral resources, integration work ongoing: AWS and Google. Frederic from LAPP leading the activity, some preliminary results (presentation in two weeks)
• Data Lake and HPC: communication note is out [link] (credits to Tomasso, Diego, Lucia and all the INFN team)
• Full Dress Rehearsal/WP2 workshop communication note: [link]
• Synergies with CS3MESH4EOSC and LOFAR. Possibility to leverage the Data Lake infrastructure with end-user oriented and/or educational purposes through the Analysis Platforms and Notebooks Infrastructure.
• Preparation of a mini-workshop between Experiments and RUCIO, specially focused on the demands from not communities with less experience on data management, might have special needs, i.e.. metadata extension. Poll to identify possible dates to be circulated soon, Alba in charge.
• Two vCHEP contributions from CERN. Propose to add "thanks to ESCAPE GA" reference add the end of the paper and "on behalf of WP2" next to the main author(s).
