And I will give a status about the implementation of the escape repository, of the open science

repository.

So I will go through, the outline of my presentation will be explaining a bit the goal of the repository

and going through the different parts of the repository.

It includes not only the repository but also the connection of services and the development

platform as also Tomavie Young explained last week.

So the first part I will pass a bit, I will go through a bit quickly.

Basically from the escape side I think that there is no intention of making compulsory

or making obligatory some practices, our aim is basically to convert to open source and

for practices that adapt and evolve within and for the whole community.

So for this basically at the very first beginning we have provided a development platform for

all the partners.

And also we have implemented a long term repository that will be connected with other escape services

like mainly all of them, specifically looking to the analysis platform and the different

AOS portal and market places.

So what is a development platform?

I think that everybody knows it but it is a place where to develop, test, modify, debug

and release different software.

Basically there are different platforms, very famous, some of them more used than others.

But from the escape side we have decided to basically create a Kiblap instance and create

a Kiblap instance in one of our institutions in the Petro.

Basically because GitHub is not open source, so basically we are aiming for open science,

let's try to use open science services.

GitHub as you know was bought by Microsoft in 2008.

In any case our intention is not at all forcing communities or institutions or people to change

their habits, basically allowing or making it possible that if anybody needs a development

platform to be used, here is a place that everybody can use it, mostly baronets and

institutions from escape.

So feel free to use it if you want and you need it.

I will not stop a lot but basically here this is a person, a slide from last Friday in where

we can see the pros and the cons of using Kiblap or GitHub as a service.

Once again Kiblap is open source, it is basically what it was chosen, it is hosted in one of

our institutions that belongs to escape.

In the opposite there are some tools that cost and there is also the set-up and installation

services on the mountain as well.

In any case I have to point out that the first question would be what happens if I go directly

to this Kiblap instance, they ask me for a Hedugainz Siboled account, what if I don't

have it, no problem, thanks to Juta because Siboled is last week.

You can ask for a registration and then the support will set you as external and then

the owners and maintainers will allow you to enter the Kiblap instance.

So once from one side there is the platform and the other is the Alongstream repository.

So basically a repository is a place where to store digital artefacts, the needs of the

escape repository are a bit general so we don't only need a software repository, we

also need a place where to store as we saw like food projects, software of course, sometimes

presentation, documentation and multimedia and occasionally data sets, although this

is still under discussion, we will see what happens with the data lake.

In any case my point is that the point is that this repository must have this general

purpose and must contain the possibility of storing all this kind of data.

In any case also I would like to remind once again that a software repository is not the

same as a development platform, a software repository is intended to store stable releases
