+Subject: CLARIN Use-case VC Notes

+From: Lukas Hämmerle <lukas.haemmerle@switch.ch>
+Organization: SWITCH

+<martin.matthiesen@csc.fi>, Sami Silén <Sami.Silen@csc.fi>

+
+Hello all
+
+Find below the CLARIN/GEANT VC we had today. This was the last VC in the
+context of GN4 year one project. From May 1st on, GÉANT has a new
+structure, new goals and new people. Lukas and Wolfgang (together with
+many more colleagues) still will be involved (also together with AARC)
+in supporting research communities like CLARIN. So, not that much should
+change.
+
+Still, as agreed this was kind of the last VC for a while.
+Many thanks to all participants who contributed to this work and thanks
+to CLARIN for working together with us! I hope that the work of this
+collaboration can improve things for CLARIN in the long term. We will
+anyway have a follow-up meeting sometime in summer to analyze this more
+thoroughly.
+
+Best Regards
+Lukas

+Video Conference
+================
+Date: 26. April 2016
+Time: 9.00 - 10.05 CEST
+Location: <https://connect.sunet.se/enabling-users>
+
+Agenda
+------
+1. Status updates on work packages
+2. CLARIN-specific entity category
+
+
+Attendees
+=========
+* Lukas Hämmerle, GÉANT
+* Wolfgang Pempe, GÉANT
+* Martin Matthiesen, CLARIN

+Excused
+----------
+* Sami Silen, GÉANT
+
+
+1. Status updates on work packages
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+1. CLARIN eduGAIN Integration
+1.A. Dieter reported that CLARIN signed agrement and sent it
+back to DFN-AAI. So, it's now mutually signed and the status
+quo is now ensured by CLARIN and DFN-AAI.
+
+
+2.A. Attribute Release Check
+Current test version available http://earc.eduid.hu/
+Further changes were applied after another round of feedback.
+This service will be finished and put in production in the next
+GÉANT project starting May 1st.
+
+
+2.B. CoCo/R&S support for CLARIN's most wanted-IdPs list.
+No updated list of organisations/federations with attribute
+release issues received from Jozef but composing such a list is
+also not easy in general.
+Martin reports that in some cases it helped a lot to fix
+attribute release issues at an organisation if a professor
+(involved in CLARIN) asked his IT departement to release
+attributes to SP XYZ because he and his student need access
+to it for research/study purposes.
+Positive example: Uni Regensburg got attribute release working
+within a few hours just last week.
+On the other hand, this might not always work (e.g. if a data
+protection lawyer is involved who by default just says no, be it
+because he needs time to understand the concept or because he
+generally dislikes/fears the idea of release attributes).
+The strange thing is that the interpretation and considerations
+of attribute release vary extremely even in one country like
+Germany. Some universities have no problem releasing attributes
+on request to services like CLARIN whereas other universities
+struggle to do so.
+
+2.C. Improving error messages for SPs
+Instructions:
+https://confluence.csc.fi/display/HAKA/Shibboleth+SP+attribute+checker
+An example SP that is set up like this can be tested here:
+https://devsp.funet.fi/secure/
+(Use username/password: teppo/testaaja)
+Wiki page currently being moved to eduGAIN wiki
+https://wiki.edugain.org/How_to_configure_Shibboleth_SP_attribute_checker
+
+Martin tested instructions using an Ansible script (that also
+sets the entityID, which is not available as Shibboleth
+variable in the error templates). Currently, solution is
+deployed on one production CLARIN SP (www.kielipankki.fi).
+Solution was announced and presented on CLARIN mailing list,
+little feedback received.
+Martin also sent the instructions to DARIAH (Peter Gietz,
+Martin Haase) that CLARIN intends to collaborate more closely
+with.
+Wolfgang added the instructions to a test SP in DFN-AAI.
+Conclusion: Instructions are sufficiently tested and documented.
+Lukas will announce instructions in a few weeks on relevant
+mailing lists and get back to Martin.
+
+Sami reported (after the VC) that also updated the page on
+the eduGAIN wiki as well as the code of the attribute checker,
+which is now on github. He also will remove the initial wiki
+page from CSC wiki.
+
+So, this work is for now considered completed but as mentioned
+needs to be make known.
+
+2. CLARIN-specific entity category
+Wolfgang asked DFN-AAI who has configured entity-category-based
+released. FU Berlin probably has configured this already.
+
+
+Next Meeting
+===========
+* Lukas will contact Martin to schedule a follow-up meeting
+ mid August.
+
+Actions
