| 2. Initiation | Gather requirements and the options to implement the greenhouse | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2.1 Needs assessment | Document list of requirements for different products. Assigned to: Nicole Update 210115: SimpleSAMLphp and Filesender have completed the product needs assessment and Surfnet have promised to complete. Initial sounding call with Apereo undertaken. | Output: Assess a select number of key products. Informal conversation with some R&E projects is ongoing for some time. Possible tools to 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 match the core requirements identified in 2.1. Assigned to: Alessandra
Update 090415: Uploaded preliminary document (Greenhouse Possible Approches v0.1.docx) based on the product needs assessment completed so far. | 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.
