EGI-Engage WP3 –e-Inrastructure commons – monthly meeting

12. Open IRIS Plan to fix the identified issues
Licensing:
The software will be made open source via Apache 2.0 license.
Category management:
Need to clarify how to best implement the category management in a robust, flexible, and easily managed way. Then this will be completed.
Rough user interface:
Simplification on the existing interface and migration to a modern interface is ongoing and migration to new user interface in the next 3 months.
Terminology and entity model:
The terminology is being improved and entity model is being extended.

13. PrestaShop Plan to fix the identified issues
CYFRONET offered unfunded effort and e-commerce expertise to further assess Prestashop
Main aims:
Identify plugins to be added to a basic PS instance
Assessment of the effort needed for custom developing

14. WordPress e-Commerce Plugin
Meeting with the UberCloud marketplace developers:
Oct 21
Assessment of the cost to implement the EGI Marketplace
