This section describes the plan to move the greenhouse concept forward.
Aim of this project: define a model to sustain the software developed by the GEANT association as a whole (including its members and/or associated peers worldwide).
| Activity Name | Description | Comment | Start Month | End Month | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Concept Definition | Explore approaches to sustain software produced in the context of a collaboration where no model is already in place. Assigned to: | The idea of the Greenhouse has been discussed for a while. Most of the background work has been done and it is available on this wiki space. See: Differentiating the TERENA Greenhouse
| Oct 2013 | Nov 2014 | DONE |
| 2. Initiation | Gather requirements and the options to implement the greenhouse | ||||
| 2.1 Needs assessment | Document list of requirements for different products. Assigned to: | Informal conversation with some of the project is ongoing for some time. See: Output: Assess a select number of key products. | 12 Jan 2015 | 20 Jan 2015 | NOT STARTED |
| 2.2 Gather info on models to implement the greenhouse | Short list of possible approaches that matches the core requirements identified in 2.1. Assigned to:
| Output: a matrix on the wiki with possible approaches See also: | 2 Feb 2015 | 20 Feb 2015 | NOT STARTED |
| 2.3 Document to present the most suitable options | Prepare a document to present a short list of options and their risks/benefits. Assigned to: | Output: short document with recommendations on the approach to implement | 23 Feb 2015 | 27 March 2015 | NOT STARTED |
| 3. Select most suitable model | Select the approach to implement. | 27 March 2015 | 3 April 2015 | NOT STARTED | |
| 4. Execution | Implement the selected model. Assigned to: |
TNC could be a good opportunity to gather some feedback if a proof-of-concept were available. | 6 April 2015 | Mid Jun | NOT STARTED |
