Recommendation 13
• Recommendation: Give appropriate weight to training activities in future plans, in particular during the migration to gLite phase for application developers and system administrators.
• We read this to imply that more investment in training as a proportion of the budget is needed in future projects.
This echoes the recommendations of the NA3 External Review.
• There have been at least 15 events focussing on gLite since May 2005,
these have included events specifically targeted at developers (for instance in the biomed community, and physics, eg. at GridKa)
and for administrators (eg. forthcoming event in Venezuela).
• As gLite components are moving into the production service training for these will more and more become part of the normal provision of courses.

Recommendation 12
• Recommendation: Ensure that training experience remains good and is supported by a high-quality T-Infrastructure and high-quality trainers.
• Response: the training and induction team are making strenuous efforts to maintain quality by evaluating all courses and using:
the feedback to improve material, presentations, curricula and planning. The training consortium throughout the 22 partners undertakes this
model and supports each other in its execution.
• The t‑Infrastructure requirement is well recognised. We are investing in more software development and more clusters to
improve facilities and increase resources. Much greater investment could be usefully deployed in developing
more widely used and general-purpose t‑Infrastructure. This has been the subject of recently submitted SSA proposal.

Recommendation 14
• Recommendation: Improve the exploitation of training success in the dissemination activity. Such success stories are easy to communicate and excellent for executives and politicians.
• The International Summer School for Grid Computing was largely organised by EGEE and the event was adevertised in GridToday (http://news.taborcommunications.com/msgget.jsp?mid=389473&xsl=story.xsl) due to the kind support of GGF.
• Mechanisms have been put in place to ensure that news about training events (both up-coming and reports of past ones) are better represented in the EGEE Newsletters (see recent releases).
Similarly efforts are made at the national level (for example in the NeSC NewsLetter to the UK eScience community).

Recommendation 16
• Recommendation: Through a better profiling and follow-up of the trainees, encourage top trainees to become trainers and contribute to training events within their region. Think of an incentive for trainees to become “official” EGEE trainers, like a small reward programme.
• Response: This has always been a goal of training, and it has to some extent already been met through “train-the-trainers” courses. It is certainly worthwhile and we endorse the view that it should be the subject of explicit encouragement.
• These statistics are difficult to collect. We are considering the longitudinal tracking of participants (for example the follow on survey) in EGEE II but there are privacy, ethical and significant resource implications. The only feasible approach may be to track this through the eLearning environment.

INFSO-RI-508833
Recommendation 42
• Recommendation: Establish future training courses on non-technical aspects of security. Possible course of action is to establish a dialog with the centre for e-social science in the UK.
• Basic security concepts and the necessary technical aspects for users (certification) are included in induction and developer training courses routinely.
• UEDIN has been working closely with National Centre for eSocial Science, UK and is contributing to the NCeSS event in February. UEDIN is also helping NCeSS create an online Learning Object compliant entry relating to Virtual Organisations, this could then be re-used within the EGEE eLearning framework.
• We also expect to be working with the ISSeG project in future to take advantage of their development of security 'best practice' information as discussed at the Pisa Conference.
