eduGAIN map will be SVG not based on Google Map.
Higino to report to Tomasz on all integration work.
Tomasz to be the gatekeeper on integration of new eduGAIN technical tools.
Access to the DB to be provided to these tools in a controlled way via access key.
Higino to answer to Tomasz and deliver additional versions of the map
eduGAIN.org - technical and user subsections
Create a site for edugain.org that is the service portal for eduGAIN -
Owner Brook:
Platform location - Amsterdam
Backend remains at Torun
Principle of working - rapid prototyping between design and technical implementation.
Mimic look, feel and navigation of GÉANT site but with specialist focussed technical eduGAIN info.
Common info on initial site - map, participating federations, entity list, wiki, policy,profiles & constitution
Technical implementation - Tomasz, higino to report to Tomasz in this context.
Design - Brook
Content - Migrate & enhance
If a tool is in production as an official edugain supported tool in the portal, it migrates to the eduGAIN OT, Tomasz.
Tomasz does not have to wait for design plan to migrate these.
Migration - make code available.
Ops - dev teams run test versions, push to git when ready, then Tomasz pull.
- CoCo monitor - check if this can be migrated to Torun. Need code.
- Access Check - to be migrated.
- Map - to be migrated
- Attribute release check
Monitoring & BCP list...see Nicole's notes.
Wiki.edugain.org
Separate project
Do we need to migrate to GÉANT wiki? Not a priority.
Do we need to restructure/sort info on it better? YES
Owner: Lukas, participant Thomas Baereke
Look and feel - lower priority.
Information structure
Main jump page content
- Clear link to federation pages, do you want help/contact as a federation
- Clear link to enabling user pages, inc. the do you want to help/contact detail
Quick links for federations
- Meetings of SG
Quick links for Service Providers
Plus segmented content
Technical information for federations - migrate as much as possible to edugain.org.
Tools - link trials in wiki under correct sections, then post pilot, freeze and migrate.
How to use side menu more?
FaaS
FaaS - not to be integrated into edugain.org service portal
Yes to be integrated into PR material on eduGAIN
Operations
GN4-2 idea
SA2 - Tomasz & Nicole
JRA3 - Brook & Maja
Dev to be involved in hotfix but Ops own the veto to change
Workflows matching tools need to be developed.
Keep jra and sa linked on service lists.
Constitution changes, MRPS and Metadata/Attribute Profile.
Roadmap - Operational Practice Statement for SAML (eduGAIN) to be produced.
Brook to investigate if Ian Y available for subcontract.
Representatives must be able to represent the technical profiles.
Votes on profiles restricted to people who do the service.
New profiles - full steering endorses first version of new profile. Adopters get to refine it. ie. new profile is a de facto consitutional change.
Proposal - If Interfederaton e.g. Moonshoot, SAML, OIDC, in scope for eduGAIN technical.
If NOT inter federation, e.g. VO Platform, inform eduGAIN, separate governance aligned with basic principles of eduGAIN constitution - eg. VO Plaform.
Affects branding

Notes from the last meeting - maybe....
Current PR information
* status information isn’t DYNAMIC - coming from brook’s personal website
1. ensure that “technical” generates this SVG
2. ensure that the PR website uses this site
* on boarding information for a NEW federation isn’t accessible/discoverable
1. Stefan/eduID.lu had difficulty accessing this service + discovering more
2. review everything on “technical” vs “wiki”
3. ensure editable content is on “wiki”.
4. ensure that there are links on the “PR” website.
* Request a “style guideline” from the NA2 team regarding colour palette
1. no longer “project” but “association” colours - or the eduGAIN “brands” own colours
2. not a template - but a guide for all tools sites
* eduGAIN.org is redirected to the PR services site
1. collect information on use of the site + redirects
2.
* …
Email Address Migration + Updating
* edugain@geant.net <— primary address
— edugain@geant.org (should be equivalent)
* edugain-ot@GÉANT.net + .org
* edugain-integration@GÉANT.net + .org
All Components
* pr
* technical + db + API
* mds
* wiki + IsFederatedCheck
* monitor
* mccs
PR Areas
* General Public - PR
* Federations Members (mostly on the technical website)
* Federations / Not Members (eduGAIN wiki, REFEDS, Inbox, joining list/technical, policy)
* Campus’
* Users (Research Groups vs Researchers/Students)
* OT
* Tools (and who uses them) - IsFederatedCheck / Tools
* Other “content” for the wiki
- Useful external resources
- tech use case write-ups (not PR content)
Website Content Map
* straw man on where all the content is vs should be
* distributed internally in November 2015
* distributed to the “town hall” member in December 2015
* plan to consolidate all information in the “new year”.
“Federation Development” process
1. Share CRM/Status with a wider audience
2. Federation Makes Contact w/Brook
- Brook provides “policy information”
3. Does the Federation want managed/unmanaged service
“Managed” —> FaaS
“Unmanaged” —> Jagger
4. What about IdP/SP?
- Back to Brook? Service?
