• Participants: Enrique Garcia (EG), Jutta Schnabel (JS), Kay Graf (KG), Mark Kettenis (MK), Stefan Reck (SR), Thomas Vuillaume (TV)
• Overview of the onboarding process - see Overview Table
  • codemeta at the root of the repository 
  • re-triggering the onboarding process
  • version the onboarding process (by OSSR policy document)
• Curation of other material - see entry
• Feedback from RP2 - see entry
• Workshop: November?

11:00 → 11:20 Status of Onboarding

Orateur: Jutta Schnabel (FAU Erlangen (ECAP))

Overview table

11:20 → 11:40 Onboarding of additional material

Suggestion:

• The ESCAPE Zenodo community welcomes entries that support the software and service projects in the OSSR, it also encourages the archival of documents and material that disseminate and support the goals of ESCAPE;
• no onboarding; just short curation process
• requirements:
  • Zenodo meta data with appropriate type;
  • supporting material to existing entry with appropriate link;
  • or: dissemination material, scientific publications with link to the ESCAPE community;
• reject if not sure

11:40 → 12:00 RP2 Report

• WP3-related parts:

  • Objectives: WP3: E-OSSR

    The ESCAPE Open-source Scientific Software and Service Repository (OSSR) is now fully operational but has started to be populated with software and services. The last part of the project will be critical as a significant increase in the number of scientific software and services are expected to be added: some adjustments are expected, in particular the documentation on how to contribute. Advanced search (beyond zenodo search) to exploit the metadata and facilitate the reusage of software and services would be beneficial. Training material and online training event have been very successful.

  • General Comment: The Open-Source Scientific Software and Service Repository is also a service that could be deployed/reused by other scientific domains: the guide for on-boarding new project (scientific software, container images, or repositories with full analyses environments) is very good; easy to follow and foster best software practices. What is unclear is if additional metadata are added. Also, it is recommended to put more emphasis on FAIR software practices. The search functionality is rudimentary.

  • Recommendations:

    • FR2. Improve the way the training materials are “presented” online by i) provide an overview of the training strategy (from foundational skills for moving to Open Science to bespoke trainings on ESCAPE & EOSC services for the community) and detail the learning objectives and key concepts taught; ii) highlight the outcomes of the WP5 workshops, including addition of the (mini-)project topics of the participants and their final presentations. This could also lead to a more systematic Train the Trainer program through “ambassadors” of ESCAPE community Open Science services.
      -> set up a training concept web page?

    • FR5. Consider more systematic approach to the continuous measurement of the effectiveness of your engagement with the user community (e.g., surveys / post-use questionnaires / resource consumption stats)

  • Implementation:  4. Moreover, the dissemination activities are somewhat unbalanced. Emphasis is put on their own website and the presence in Social media (647 posts). Several conference (13) and workshop (37) participations are reported, but no conference or workshop has been organised. This propagates in the estimates of persons reached. -> IWAPP, WOSSL?
