  1. EGEE Dissemination and Training Mike MineterTraining teamNational e-Science Centre, Edinburgh Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 www.eu-egee.org EGEE is a project funded by the European Union under contract IST-2003-508833

  2. Contents • The need for Dissemination and Training in EGEE • The Dissemination and Training activities • Interdependencies • Summary Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 2

  3. Goals of Dissemination and Training • EGEE will • Develop and deliver a production Grid service • Benefit the widest possible range of virtual organisations • Require: New VOs; new and effective users • Dissemination and Outreach (NA2): 5% of EGEE budget • Dissemination – to actively promote and raise awareness of the EGEE project • Outreach – to identify and contact potential new user communities • Led by John Dyer at TERENA • Training and Induction (NA3): 4% of EGEE budget • Induction – to introduce and orient - users and members • Training – to create, collate, make available and deliver material and courses • Led by Malcolm Atkinson at National e-Science Centre, Scotland • Strong collaboration: NA2, NA3, NA4 (Application Identification and Support) Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 3

  4. 29 partners, coordinated by TERENA and CERN Establishing strong corporate image, brand and style Logo, Powerpoint templates,… Two EGEE conferences will be held a year Cork, April The Hague, 22 - 26 Nov 2004 EGEE mailing lists Internal Website - http://egee-intranet.web.cern.ch/egee-intranet/index.html Public web-site: http://public.eu-egee.org/ Media, Government Relations Document major EGEE events through filming, photography, writing articles Publicity material Publicity at events: Conferences NA2 stresses their need for cooperation from all of EGEE: to raise awareness of EGEE to collect EGEE photos, news Dissemination and Outreach (NA2) Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 4

Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 5

  6. NA3 Challenges • Building an Integrated training team – so all NA3 partners are active • Prioritising earliest-possible induction of project members to EGEE • Developing and collating training material – building on EDG heritage, national Grid projects • Attracting enough potential users (with NA2, NA4) • Converting enough of them to successful EGEE users Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 6

  7. Induction for users Further user and app. dev. training Training Courses and Activities Develop NA3 processes; requirements analysis Induction for project members Further courses for project members Advanced courses Workshops: EGEE advances, new VO’s Build repository of training material Project month 6 12 18 Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 7

  8. The goals of Dissemination and Training in EGEE • The Dissemination and Training activities • Interdependencies • Course development • Gaining new and effective users • Between training, middleware and operations • Tell us what training you need ! • Summary Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 8

  9. Course development • NA3 works with experts (NA4, SA1, JRA1,…) to • define course content (e.g. April 26-28, Edinburgh) • deliver first courses (e.g. this week) • further train the trainers (e.g. next week, Catania) • Then trainers • take over course delivery with diminishing (non-zero) support from experts • add new course to repository • establish course delivery across NA3 partners, by making releases from repository • Web-accessible • available to all EGEE and beyond • update material in response to: • participant and speaker feedback • ROC helpdesk feedback • EGEE developments • new user communities • Further development with VOs, who will • inject specialist topics • train their own members with NA3 support (e.g. Clermont Ferrand) Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 9

  10. Application Developers Successful Users Application Developers At home on EGEE Gaining new and effective users User Registration Outreach Dissemination Induction &User Training NA2 NA4 Researchers Decision-makers Designers Advanced EGEE Applications Success Stories & Experts Developer Initial Training Positive Referrals New EGEE Applications Developer Advanced Training Positive Referrals Pushing Limits Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 10

  11. Interdependencies: NA3, SA1, JRA1 • Users must have an easy transition from training to use of Grids • Same technology in training and in early use • Stable production grid – is it possible to train users too soon? • Assess need for workshops / courses / training material • On new technologies ? • On operations - with and for ROC’s ? • Trainers need to gain experience of current and emerging releases • Advance notice of changes to update training • Early users of pre-production Grid Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 11

  12. Invitation • Tell us what you need for training!! • Courses: What? Where? When? • User – follow-on from Induction to EGEE for “Grid-naïve” • Application developers • Advanced • Workshops – termed “Retreats” in the Technical Annexe: • When? – why not very soon?! • At key phases of a project? • To establish new user communities?? (With NA4, NA2) • Email: John Murison, Training manager: john@nesc.ac.uk • Or…talk to us! Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 12

  13. Summary • EGEE will serve Europe by creating an e-infrastructure that will persist and underpin collaboration in science, research, medicine, engineering, ……….. • Training and dissemination activities will serve EGEE by • supporting the developers and operators of a production Grid • developing effective new and existing user communities • establishing awareness of EGEE Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 13

  14. Future events will be found via NA3 website on: http://www.egee.nesc.ac.uk/schedreg/ • Questions and comments ??? Induction to EGEE, 17 May 2004 - 14
