      Introduction 10m
      Orateurs: Ian Bird (LAPP), Julie CHAUDAN (LAPP IN2P3 / CNRS)
      1. CHEP abstracts - deadline 19 Nov
      2. EOSC Association - stakeholder registry
      3. E-EB extended discussion day - timetable in Indico; some questions to consider: 
      4.  
    • 10:10 10:20
      TSP update 10m

      Document and timeline submitted to EOSC-Future

      - EOSC-Future meeting on SP's last week (1 Sep) - presentations of all SPs (not yet publicly available), ESCAPE presentation attached to this agenda

      - Brief item on TSP's at the technical day at the GA (28 Sep):

      • TSP status & overview
      • DM update
      • EU update
      • proto-VRE for TSP's - as an example

      - Important next step for ESCAPE SP's

      • Firm up timelines - see spreadsheet; add clear and realistic milestones (that we need for ourselves)
      • Produce a good estimate of the resource needs for each project and sub-project:
        • compute - cluster, HPC, specific needs?
        • storage - with specific QoS if necessary
        • other needs?
      • Then we need within ESCAPE to address what resources we can provide from our ESCAPE partners;
        • intention is to add other resources from a) ESCAPE procurment funds, b) EOSC-Future brokered resources through INFRAEOSC-07 projects

      - ESCAPE will organise a meeting on the TSP's following the GA; we should try and have the above planning complete by then

      • WP5 2m
        Orateur: John Swinbank (ASTRON)
        • Apologies that I can't make it to today's meeting.
        • WP5 workshop on 5 August was successful; thanks to everybody who participated!
        • Deliverable D5.3, “Performance assessment of initial science platform prototype”, was delivered on 27 August. Thanks to everybody who contributed! At time of writing we're still waiting to hear if it has been approved by the EC.
          • (Tangentially: I made a LaTeX template; if you need to make an ESCAPE-format document but can't bring yourself to use Word, drop me a line.)
        • Joint meeting with WP3 planned on 15 September to press forward on ESAP/OSSR integration issues.
          • Picking up the questions that Gareth Hughes raised at the 5 August workshop.
        • Two “white papers” in progress. The aim is that these will inform development priorities over the next couple of months:
          • ESAP development goals for DAC21
          • ESAP integration with the VO
        • Two new developers started at ASTRON in early September; expect them both to make contributions to ESAP development.
      • WP6 2m
        Orateur: Prof. Stephen Serjeant (The Open University)

        Briefly, our focus at the moment is on the ESCAPE / EOSC-Future Citizen Science workshop that we are running next week.

        We have over 40 attendees, the majority of whom are outside ESCAPE, which is a very good turn-out for a citizen science workshop and it a managable size for our workshop objectives.

        For the discussion day adjacent to the ESCAPE General Assembly, we are intending a hands-on participation demo for ESCAPE citizen science.

        The citizen science use cases have also been added to the project management system.

          • "external" meeting on GADF (gamma ray format) development -> discussions picking up momentum
      • SKA 2m
        Orateur: Rosie Bolton (Square Kilometre Array Organisation)

        Continued work in interactive data analysis (working with binderhub instance - next steps looking at shared data volumes to enable easier collaboration). 

        We are preparing our rucio instance to be ready for DAC21 (upgrade k8s cluster and upgrading our dev and production rucio instances). We hope that the include the recent (ranged) metadata support features which we (Rob Barnsley) worked on will be included in a rucio release in time for DAC21 but this is not essential.
