        ESAP installation procedure completely container based (by Stefano Russo) available iat https://www.ict.inaf.it/gitlab/exact/ESAP

        A new virtual machine for deployment, integration and testing purpose allocated.

        Reported on Execution Planner note at the WP4 Forum; expecting to have something implemented for the next IVOA InterOp meeting. Ongoing discussion with CADC.

      • KIS 1m
      • NWO-I / Nikhef 1m
      • RUG 1m

        Two general updates:

        1. Discussing with RUG-IT center to keep the RUG-GSI Jupyterhub service running after the end of ESCAPE

        2. Working on the final version of the Jupyterhub service

      • SKAO 1m
        • Addressed technical debt in notebook prototypes.
          • Dev & Prod JupyterHub systems, with BinderHub running.
        • Planned next PI for SKAO work, mitigating uncertainties around SRC prototyping within the Steering Committee.
          • Expecting to co-locate Rucio Storage Element with a Jupyter system, enabling us to replicate DLaaS deployment.
          • Rob & Rohini at SKAO have spent effort on token based auth with Rucio - a number of changes on the back of this have been pushed into the latest Rucio release (1.28).
          • Keen to explore how embargoed data could be protected in interactive sessions.
        • WP2 workshop this afternoon.
        • Experimented with deploying Dask Gateway.
          • Dask Gateway allows user to creat, scale and tear down their clusters on demand (and is preferable to simply giving everyone enough resources to create individual Dask clusters in case they need them.
          • Can make set up guide available to anyone interested
          • Dask Gateway service works but thus far unable to connect to clients for the running services; likely a problem with the gateway's Traefik proxy - this is a bit frustrating but has been reported (https://github.com/dask/dask-gateway/issues/486) as it seems like a bug 
      • UCM 1m

        A. Sinha

        Collaborated to organize a work on introduction to VHE Astronomy, heavily based on Gammapy
        https://github.com/AtreyeeS/VHE-KU-workshop (1-3 Feb 2022). Around 100 participants 

        Working on Gammapy, preparing for paper publication
        +Proposed new IRFs that could be a bridge for other collaborations to use the open Gamma Ray Format (SWGO,KM3)

        Atreyee will leave at the end of this month, but will keep some level of involvement with the project.

        N. Alvarez

        Has joined the group and is looking on how to publish our data and machine learning challenge on in
        We have been attending the technical meetings to understand the problems
