Agenda and Notes

1. HubZero Tryout

• Purdue already offer a VM and software download
• Hook suggested set up an instance on the Amazon EC2 cloud
• Hook is going to talk with Michael McLennan

We need to think about how to run a try out

• telecon with Michael McLennan
• legwork before hand
• asynchronous or synchronous?

Dave: good for him to have some upfront preparation, some sort of assignment beforehand

• need some sort of basic assignment
• general enough, easy to walk through
• Assignment at an entry level, undergraduate lab course

2. Review NASA ROSES/CMAC winners for Collaboratory section

• NASA call: Computational algorithms and cyberinfrastucture abstracts of selected proposals
• Four proposals that had collaboratory ideas
  • Integrating Parallel and distributed data mining algorithms into the NASA Earth Exchange
  • Collaborative workbench to accelerate science algorithm development
  • Cloud Enabled Scientific Collaborative Research Environment
  • A Community-Driven Workflow Recommendations and Reuse Infrastructure
• Bring in PIs and CIs of these projects to see what they really wanted to do with these proposals
• Projects scheduled to start in October maybe November
• What order makes more sense NEX guys or CMAC? What should we do first?
  • Doing CMAC first to get an overview of the projects, just 10 to 15 minutes each, to see what they’re trying to accomplish
  • Dave: Can see benefits of trying to combine them
  • We’ll want to schedule it as a separate meeting or one long meeting
  • Chris: Will contact CMAC and see what the can work out
