10:15 Review of Spiral 2 GENI goals and Cluster D Spiral 2 Roadmap Process

See attached power point files at ​http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterDMtg070209/061109%20%20GENI%20Spiral2_Goals.ppt and ​http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterDMtg070209/070209%20%20ClusterD%20-%20Spiral2_Roadmap_Process.ppt, and attached current roadmap document ​http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterDMtg070209/070209b%20%20ClusterD_Spiral2_Goals_Roadmap.doc)

Next, each PI(s) will review their project.
PLEASE bring no more than 6 slides to review:
1) Progress in year 1
2) Challenges in year 1
3) Progress towards integration with ORCA clearinghouse (broker) at RENCI per Spiral 1 plan (attached)
4) Progress towards connection of your facility with Internet2 backbone network (also NLR at RENCI)
5) Plans for experiments by outside GENI researchers by end of Spiral 1
6) Plans for Spiral 2 (year 2)

And, for each project, the GPO will review:
7) Current milestone status, using the wiki

10:25 ORCA/BEN project (Ilia Baldine, Jeff Chase)

​wiki
​slides
​Notes, particularly concerning: plan to make ORCA a prodcution capability for BEN; towards requesting connections from Internet2; first experimenter to be Keren Bergman; could use more funding; would like GPO to help with documentation.

11:00 DOME project (Brian Levine, Mark Corner, Brian Lynn)

​wiki
​slides
​Notes, particularly concerning: connection to Internet2; instrumented measurements (* consider comparison to ORBIT approach)(* consider comparison of disconnected approach to ORBIT/WiMAX); plans for use in "Intro to Networking" class in fall; ways to train students, e.g., tutorials; concerns about maintaining documents; concerns about supporting users vs system development; how to attract more experimenters, can GPO help (no), maybe NSF.

11:30 ViSE project (Prashant Shenoy, Michael Zink, David Irwin)

​wiki
​slides
​Notes, particularly concerning: sensor-centric experiments; long term vision of moving sensed data to cloud-based storage, and processing; run complete experiemnts of sensing + storage + processing.

12:00 Lunch

1:00 Kansei project (Anish Aurora, Rajiv Ramnath, Hongwei Zhang)

​wiki
​slides
​Notes, particularly concerning: current external users; operation costs (* consider workshop on how to have NSF pay for operations)

1:30 Measurement project (Keren Bergman, Franz Fidler)

​wiki
​slides
​Notes, particularly concerning: plans for spiral 2.

2:00 Discussion of Cluster D integration thru end of Spiral 1

See attached word document at ​http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterDMtg070209/070209%20%20ClusterD_Spiral1_Plan.doc and power point file at ​http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterDMtg070209/070209%20%20ClusterD_Spiral1_Plan.ppt)
What are the biggest challenges?
What coordination process should be used?

2:50 Break

3:00 Discussion of Cluster D Spiral 2 roadmap tasks, grouped by Spiral 2 goals

See ​document
After discussion at this meeting, including rating (H, M, L) of each task for importance, see updated ​document
​Notes, particularly concerning: techniques for monitoring; identity management.
