GREN Map Sandbox Release
by Ryan Davies 07 May '21

07 May '21

Hello GREN Mappers, (Quick note: the minutes from the last meeting have been published on the Wiki<https://wiki.geant.org/display/GlobalMap/Global+Interactive+Map>.) As discussed in the last meeting, at long last, a version of the GREN Map software suitable for early adoption and alpha testing has been released. As a reminder, we hope and expect that eventually, every REN will maintain an instance of this software to contain their own data. Each instance will also be able to be configured to collect and merge in data from smaller RENs within the geo-political areas served by larger interconnecting RENs. Ultimately, a single instance for the entire GREN will contain all data bubbled up from all other instances. The version of the software released now is intended as a preview, called the “Sandbox”, and does not have these data collection features enabled: as the features and security mature, we will release versions with more functionality. This “Sandbox” is intended to be installed in an environment not exposed/visible to the public Internet, and is released as-is. We encourage every member of this Working Group to try out this software and send us any feedback you may have by May 31, and pass this on to your colleagues as well. * Download and install the software * Import spreadsheet or GRENML data, if available * Enter/update data manually * See your network data on a map! System requirements: up-to-date Docker & Docker Compose engines. Installation instructions are found in the package’s README.md file, which also points towards the beginnings of some usage instructions. Installation does not permanently modify the host system in any way. Data entered into the Sandbox database is not stored persistently; destroying the Docker containers discards all data entered. Please find the latest Sandbox Release here: https://code.canarie.ca/gren_map/gren-map-db-node/-/releases Cheers, Ryan [Qr code Description automatically generated] Ryan Davies | Software Developer | CANARIE<http://www.canarie.ca/> ryan.davies(a)canarie.ca<mailto:ryan.davies@canarie.ca>

TNC Demo: Discussion Topic for Next Meeting
by Tom Fryer 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Dear Everyone, I hope that this message finds you well. TNC21 Demo: Discussion Topic for Meeting on Tuesday, 16 March Next Tuesday we have our next scheduled call for 13:00 UTC (if you do not have the invite please let Ryan and me know). As I expect you are aware, a proposal for a demo was submitted for TNC21<https://tnc21.geant.org/> (21-25 June), and is scheduled for 11:40 CEST (09:40 UTC) on Monday 21 June. In order to prepare for the demo, it is proposed that in next week's meeting, we discuss what should be included in the demo and how it should be run. So in advance of the discussion, we would like to invite you to give this a little thought, and share any ideas you have next Tuesday. Meeting Times Also, aware of the challenges that the time we typically hold our meetings is inconvenient for some participants, we would like to explore the possibility of holding some of the meetings at different times of the day. To help get an idea of what might be feasible, we have prepared a doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/vy629fmsxnzfq8zu?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link. The doodle poll is set up with a view to after clock changes in the coming weeks. The date you will see is 30 April (by when I believe all clock changes will have occurred across the globe). However, the doodle poll is not to find a time on 30 April, rather to find out what times of the day are feasible for you to participate on a call, based on the following: * Green tick - Comfortable time and usually available at this time, assuming there are no meeting clashes * Amber tick - Outside comfortable time, but can make this time on occasions. * Blank - not possible for me at this time. Looking forward to seeing you next week.

GREN Map: Engagement
by Ryan Davies 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Greetings GREN Mappers, First of all, a final reminder that the development priorities feedback deadline has been extended one last time. Please complete your organization’s column in the shared spreadsheet by this Monday, Feb 1. It shouldn’t take too long, and we’d like as much representative feedback as possible. The instructions are repeated below. The minutes of the last meeting are posted: https://wiki.geant.org/display/GlobalMap/Global+Interactive+Map?preview=/10… The bulk of that meeting was spent discussing how the group can mobilize to meet the target of a “Version One Point Zero” release of the system ahead of TNC 2021 in June. This Working Group has done (and is doing) a great job steering the project on course, and CANARIE + RNP have been happy to develop what we’ve got so far, namely a working proof-of-concept prototype, some demos, and a solid momentum in the community. But to meet our next delivery goals this year, we will need to engage more support to carry us across that finish line. These goals are ambitious, but achievable, and I believe beneficial to the success of this project. There are opportunities, large and small, for engagement in the following areas, for examples: * Development (commitments of any size are welcomed — ask us!) * Infrastructure: hosting map nodes for your REN or your neighbours * Project management: * guiding micro-projects, e.g. * development stories or epics * deployment infrastructure setup * etc. * overseeing, in macro terms, the whole push for “Version 1.0” TNC target release * soliciting and co-ordinating REN data acquisition * working group admin * meeting organisation & minutes * correspondence * outreach & marketing: websites, videos, community presentations If you believe you can arrange for your REN to contribute in any of these areas, or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your humble working group chairs. The agenda for Tuesday’s meeting will consist primarily of reviewing the dev priorities feedback, and discussing potential engagement as above. Also, I will propose that we set up a recurring meeting for every two weeks until June, for discussion. Cheers, Ryan Feature Prioritization Spreadsheet https://canarie-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/ryan_davies_canarie_ca/Edh… Instructions As you are probably aware, software development on our GREN Map infrastructure is ongoing. We are aiming to produce a preliminary working system in mid-2021. As discussed at a previous meeting, we are soliciting WG members’ feedback to determine what features are required in order to consider this preliminary system full-featured enough for release. We hope this will only take a few moments. Please see the online spreadsheet linked here; you should be able to edit it in your browser. Find the instructions for filling it out below, and in the first tab of the spreadsheet. Note that changes should be done through a browser, and are applied live. Note that we encourage only one member per REN represented in the working group to fill out the sheet. For those of you with multiple representatives, please collaborate on your submissions as you see fit. We suggest that you may wish to solicit input from your marketing and technical teams. Objective The aim of this spreadsheet is to collect a list of features that need to be prioritised for the next phase of GREN map development. The results will be used as a guide to help plan the work for upcoming milestones. Initially we will use this spreadsheet to poll the GREN Mapping Working Group members regarding which new features should be included to constitute a version 1.0.0 that is deployable and can be demonstrated mid-2021. Current project status The GREN map is currently (as of Oct. 2020) at a sandbox milestone. The sandbox is intended to be an evaluation and feedback tool only. It will allow a user to install the system locally and enter their own data to see how it shows up on the map. The federated distribution system is only partially in place and there is no consolidation of data. Instructions for use We would like to receive one review from all organisations represented in the working group. As some organisations have multiple members, please coordinate with your colleagues to review the features and enter your consensus rating for each. Please view the "Review Sheet" tab and consider each suggested feature. If you think we have missed a feature, please feel free to add to the bottom of the list for consideration. Please feel free to use the "New Comment" feature in Excel (under the Review tab or right click on a cell) to add any opinions or questions regarding a feature. To rank the features please read the feature description, find the column corresponding to your organisation and rate each feature using the following scale: 3 — This must be done for a workable version 1.0.0 milestone 2 — This would be nice for a future milestone / should be done at some point. 1 — No opinion 0 — The GREN Map should NOT do this The results will be averaged across all reviewers. If a value of 0 is selected, it will be highlighted in red to bring it to attention of the Working Group as a whole. We will then discuss the features within the working group meetings. Thank you for your participation and we look forward to seeing your ratings!
