SA1 Issues

• Resources• Was difficult to hire people early …

• … now could be difficult to retain people

• Adding developers takes time, we focus on specific tasks

• Receive show-stoppers requests from EGEE• Sometimes conflicting, sometimes not using the solution

• Sustainability of the ETICS Services• SA1 needs clear direction from the PMB• Be deployable in other environments that CERN• For Open Organizations vs for Private Commercial uses• We must aim at scenarios that are feasible • Invest (partners) resources in those scenarios• New development must start now (privacy, import export, etc) but we

have no resources
