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.
