NREN uptake

In the beginning of GN4-1 there were 44 European NRENs/NROs  that were using eduroam service. During GN4-1 two new European NRENs/NROs joined eduroam: Georgia and Ukraine, resulting in 46 NROs from Europe (see monitor.eduroam,org).  

NOTE: European NRO != GÉANT participant (e.g. NORDUNET is one GÉANT participant represented by 5 NROs; GEANT org is GÉANT participant and not an NRO; Andorra, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia are not GÉANT participants but have European NROs)

All GÉANT participants are using eduroam service. 

Usage uptake

The eduroam service continues to see significant growth, both within countries and across borders. Seasonal fluctuations are evident, linking with main academic holiday seasons and new terms, but on a month-to-month comparison, every month saw growth based on the previous year at national and international levels. The start of the academic year 2015-2016 was performed particularly strongly.

 At

the end of the reporting period, the Another means to track eduroam uptake is to measure usage of eduroam supporting tool CAT had 1281 supported IdPs, over 1000 of which are fully configured. During the period, 1,262,104 downloads were delivered, 1,259,842 of which were end user profiles. do we have numbers at beginning of GN4-1 ? - ( May. 2015: we  had 880 IdPs, 699  fully configured, and total of 1,682.377 downloads since the day of the service launch in GN3plus). The tool is used by IdPs (end-users institution) who configure their institution "profile", and ultimately by end-users who download eduroam installers for their device.

*measured from the day of release of the CAT tool in GN3plus

During GN4-1 two new NROs joined eduroam, Georgia and Ukraine (Totall NRO count =46, see monitor.eduroam,org)  what was the number of NROs in beginning of GN4-1 = 44 , and what is the number of geant pariticipants in gn4-1. Who didnt join and why. NOTE: NRO != GN participant (e.g. NORDUNET, GEANT org). All joined.AFAIK

Devops Roadmap 

*Roadmap should cover cover upto next year, with more details on plans for next quarter

...

Current eduroam devops roadmap is available at the  eduroam Devops Roadmap

Snapshot of the roadmap taken for this review on 01 Nov 2016 

Development Roadmap 

*Roadmap should cover next 2-3 years, and show where we are on it

Input needed from JRA3 Ann Harding Roadmap is currently under construction - we have one roadmap?

...

In GN4-2 JRA3 is responsible for further development of eduroam service. The roadmap was discussed during the Project Management Convention, resulting in the following:

• eduroam as a service - eaas - detailed roadmap 
  
  • Overall system design specified – DONE
  • Implement first prototype – ONGOING
  • finalize first prototype for the service – Dec 2016 [COMMITED]
  • launch pilot for the service – Jan 2017 [COMMITED]
        -> functional except credential revocation; preliminary UI; see “Pilot Features”
  • stop the pilot – May 2017 [PLANNED]
  • eaas beta version – June 2017 [PLANNED]
        -> fully functional, near-final UIs; see “Beta Features”
  • eaas v1.0 – July 2017 [PLANNED]
  • documentation and acceptance testing – Sep 2017 [POSSIBILITY]
  • service launch and handover to production – Oct 2017 [POSSIBILITY]
• eduroam user diagnostics
• analyse requirements - Dec 2016
• start development - Jan 2017
• finalize prototype - June 2017
• early adopters release and acceptance testing- July 2017
• service launch - Oct 2017
• radsec scalability
• CAT development

Service availability and incidents

...

Support, operations and devops effort spent and planned Ask Ann to provide numbers from the SA5 budget. 

...

Caution: Reporting on spent manpower in GEANT projects is not conceptualised for easy and accurate tracking of spent manpower for different services and for different aspects of work on those services (ie what was spent on development, support or operations). For GN4-1, it comes down on how much individual person claimed under certain task. eduroam development and operations were performed under same task in GN4-1 and therefore its impossible to make such differentiation at this point. 

Proposal for additional KPIs related to usage, uptake and costsAnn, Miro something to add ?

...

Although GN4-2 Technical Annex does not have details on target values for KPIs, we have projected the target based on the current rate of usage growth and expected changes in the market. It is expected that growth of eduroam will be slower than in previous years due to full coverage/use in many organisations, and the potential impact of the abolition of roaming data charges in the EU. Nonetheless, as eduroam delivers more value than simply cost of network access, growth is still expected.

 Miro  please addDuring the GN4-1 period, eduroam service had following notable tasks performed: 

• First level support was migrated to
