\uD83D\uDC65 Participants

\uD83E\uDD45 Topics

Background

  • In the XSEDE context, the SP Forum is a valuable organization for Service Providers to share information with each other and to provide feedback and advice to the XSEDE project on a variety of topics.

  • The SP Forum, while chartered/tasked by XSEDE, self-organizes and operates independently of XSEDE (and unfunded).

  • Members of the SP Forum have agreed that it is worthwhile and are willing to continue to participate in the SP Forum or its successor organization under the ACCESS context.

  • There are some XSEDE staff that are funded to participate/engage with the RPs via the SPF, including SP Coordinator. Also, XSEDE deputy project director attends to represent the project.

  • Meetings are currently scheduled bi-weekly for 1 hour.

  • The Chair of the SP Forum is on the XSEDE Senior Management Team.

  • T3/CONECT, anticipating a large degree of contact with RPs due to technical integration requirements between RPs and ACCESS, T3/CONECT defined a funded role for RP Coordinator (Tim Boerner) to facilitate between T3 and the RPs on their integration with ACCESS, and to engage with new RPs/RP types to collect needs and promote participation in ACCESS.

Discussion

  • Are there any concerns to a formal relationship between ACCESS and the RP Forum similar to XSEDE? If so, how should it change?

  • What kind of participation do the ACO and other tracks want to have with the RP Forum?

  • How should we coordinate our interactions with the RP Forum?

    • e.g., perhaps it is sufficient that we each send a representative to the RP Forum to participate in those conversations.

  • Is there anything that we need from the RP Forum that it doesn't provide to XSEDE as the SP Forum?

  • How should ACCESS approach the SP Forum and request that they continue as the community transitions from XSEDE to ACCESS?

  • Should the RP Forum have representation in governing/advisory bodies for ACCESS as in XSEDE? (e.g., in some capacity with the EC)

  • What challenges do we expect as we expand the number and type of RPs with ACCESS?
