| Explore approaches to sustain software produced in the context of a collaboration where no model is already in place. | The idea of the Greenhouse has been discussed for a while. Most of All the background work has been done and it is available on this wiki space. See: Differentiating the TERENA Greenhouse | NH | Oct10/2013 | Nov11/2014 |
| Done

| 2. Initiation | Gather requirements and the options to implement the greenhouse | |||||||||||||||||
| 2.1 Needs assessment | Document list of requirements for different products.
| Output: Assess a select number of key products. | Assigned Possible tools to | : Nicole asses: Open Conext, File Sender, Simple SAMLphp, MediaMosa, (TCS software?) Update 210115: SimpleSAMLphp and Filesender have completed the product needs assessment and Surfnet have promised to complete. Initial sounding call with Apereo undertaken.

| 2.2 Gather Gathering info on models to implement the greenhouse | Short list of possible approaches that matches match the core requirements identified in 2.1.Assigned to: Alessandra
| Output: a matrix on the wiki with possible approaches. Possible existing organisations to interview are: NLLab, OSS Watch, Apereo. This task can start in parallel with 2.1 as some of the aspects are known.
