release 2 TIER Production Candidate will be made available to community - This section is new- All of the issues below should be synced up with Dean's Checklist further down the document
- Main TIER Page needs update (AI - Dean) - Good update Dean
- TIER Release 1 page can be morphed for TIER Production Candidate (some older stuff needs to be addressed here) (AI - Dean) - Nice job updating Dean. The VMs can now be access from this page. Still need to noodle a bit on Shib 3.2.1 in the VM vs Shib 3.3.0 which is real production release.
- TIER Package Delivery page needs an update but most can probably still be used (AI - Bill or Steve?)
- The Internet2 Report TIER Release One.V20160416.Rev1.pdf (IMHO this is the document that needs the most attention and should be broken up into a longer document with lots of the containerization, WG, and other information separated out and keeping a short and concise overview in a short 1 page or so document.) (Comment from Dean - we should keep this document archived somewhere, but need a new document(s) for Release 2)
- Software Release Website is called TIER Testbed Home - In good shape as TIER Software and Practice Components but we need to work on keeping the testbed parts that are still "testbed".
- All items including their Release Notes need to reviewed and addressed here. Jim J has been updating the Shib release notes and in fact has replaced the Rel 1 version with the current version in test (Rel 2 V5). Naming is again something to visit here.
- link to where the VM and Docker containers can be downloaded (Internet2 Docker Hub containers may be included) - Not ready yet
- With levvel.io, we write doc on procedures for obtaining and bringing up the package (for feed into web pages) - all good for now... will be fed back to levvel.io over time.
- TIER Roadmap
- Include what needs to be on the Roadmap through (and beyond) 2017 - pending further definition of what will be funded
