Some comments -<br>
<br>
I would say that for the Mon and Tue conversations, it would be best
to summarize what do we really need from the new data center,
including some of the legacy, and what additions we long for. The
spreadsheet is too limiting to legacy stuff, and Im afraid, that
when presented as brief as it is below, I get the feeling that the
transition roadmap is that of continuity of minimums, something we
agree it would not be the case. I would suggest we keep that
spreadsheet for historical purposes, and let's do a fresh survey
(too late for tomorrow).<br>
<br>
What matters? For LTER what matters is to stay relevant in the face
of rapidly evolving technologies. The LTER network has now new ways
at our disposal to address some long unresolved IT challenges. We
could also address storage challenges, hosting and services. We can
layout new ways to collaborate and act as a network, and in the
process of doing so, we will be more efficient, reduce the amount of
redundant work in our network, and have our people work on what they
can do best. That is a transition that is exciting. <br>
<br>
A transition should not just mean "move this server over here,
update this software and, btw, who can host LDAP". While those are
things that should be consider, it should be a deeper analysis on
where we want to be a year from now, and then sometime beyond that.
Furthermore, presenting EB with tech decisions is not as valuable as
presenting with a vision of what do we want to offer to LTER, how is
that beneficial and what do we need to get there. We did some work
before the ASM, some during the IM meeting, but some details still
need to be worked out. Perhaps this is what you mean, but I cannot
really distil this message from the email below -- and, If we just
go for the minimum effort, we will end up in worse shape in a year
from now that in the (relative) bad shape we are now. We do not
want that, do we?<br>
<br>
Finally, just to reiterate what I told the current LNO and others, I
can also help with legacy stuff - i am on site, and I know some of
it, and know what door to knock in case of doubt. <br>
<br>
Cheers, Inigo<br>
