1. Bob Jones – June 2002 - n° 1 EDG release Schedule Bob Jones

2. Bob Jones – EDG retreat – August 2002 - n° 2 General Approach u Incremental improvements made to a stable release 1.2 n Each change tested and accepted/rejected before moving on to the next n Advantage: we can move a working release to the certificate testbed after any improvement s Choice based on priorities for users and availability of resources (human and hardware) to perform further testing on the certification testbed u Important milestones n Data Challenges s Given dates for each experiment (discussed by WP6 at Budapest) n EU Review (April 2003) u Note: all this relies on the 3 basic things being put in place: n A full-time testing group to assemble and maintain a comprehensive test suite n A certification testbed on which to perform tests n Automation of software installation, configuration & testing

3. Bob Jones – EDG retreat – August 2002 - n° 3 Releases for large deployment u Move a stable tagged release from the development testbed to the certification testbed at the end of September n Report on its contents at next PTB (2 nd October) u Testing/Certification is likely to take between 1 and 2 months u Release should make its way to the application/production testbed for the end of the year or early January u Use First quarter of 2003 to prepare demonstrations etc. for EDG review using this release n Further “latest developments” could be identified (demonstrated?) as running on the development/certification testbed
