      • a) ASTRON
        • Preparation for the upcoming Second WP5 workshop (see following agenda item).
        • Multiple improvements to ESAP, including:
          • Use of the “shopping basket” to enable users to select query results for further processing (#6, #7, #8)
          • Enable access to the ASTRON ESAP instance over standard ports to work around firewalls limiting access from some institutions (#13)
          • Several user experience improvements and minor bugfixes to ESAP (#12)
          • fixed the ESAP-GUI usability issues and bugs with the shopping basket that were identified
          • improved (and understood) the token expiration issue (not fully solved, because it was not on the board for this iteration)
          • added very basic connectors for apertif, astron_vo and SAMP to the python client (for use in the Jupyter notebook)
      • b) CERN
      • c) CNRS-LAPP
        • Rubin Science Platform successfully deployed at LAPP
        • WP5 Tech talk to present it soon
      • d) CSIC

        We have met with members of the WP4, in order to discuss about the IVOA model for provenance data. The minutes of this meeting can be found in https://wiki.escape2020.de/index.php/WP4_-_CEVO (search for "SKAO CEVO provenance meeting")

      • e) CTAO
      • f) EGO

      • g) FAIR
      • h) FAU
      • i) IFAE
      • j) INAF

      5. Upcoming Workshop

      The Second WP5 Workshop will take place on Thursday 5 August from 09:00 until 12:00 CEST.

      Details are starting to appear on Indico at https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/24716/

      As a reminder, this workshop is required to satisfy the project milestone MS31, “Second WP5 workshop to analyse prototype performance”.

      I interpret this as being a charge to invite various ESCAPE stakeholders to the workshop, to present the work which as been done to date, to give them a chance to experiment with it, and to ask them for their feedback. (I regard “performance” as describing the holistic design and concept of the ESAP — “how well does it do its job?” — rather than some limited definition which regards purely computation/query performance.)

      The draft agenda at the Indico page linked above includes:

      - An overview of the ESAP “vision”, together with some discussion of how it relates to the expressed use cases.

      - Discussion of current and upcoming work in interactive data analysis, batch processing, and managed databases.

      - Interactions with other work packages.

      - Time for discussion.

      Your feedback on what else should be added to the agenda, and — in particular — on what you could contribute would be much appreciated.
