Notes from previous meeting

Agenda (https://github.com/DAREUK/tetres/issues/49)):

  • SC26 paper reviews
  • In-person meeting 18-19 November 2026
    • Funding confirmed
    • What are the objectives?
    • Roadmap
      • Is there a need for a federated test network of TREs in the UK long term?
    • What does it look like?
    • What support is needed from DARE UK
    • Yes, maybe TETREs gives a "stamp of approval" that researchers can take to TREs/data they want to work with
      • Demo and test (separate audiences, but both relevant)
      • Do TETREs sites have to agree to run two environments (demo and test)
    • TETREs could be a demonstrator for things like a HDRS project
    • Is there some persistent TETREs infrastructure that's monitored?
      • Difference between demo (reliably running) and test (can be ephemeral)
      • Test still needs to be carefully managed so we know when to spin up or delete resources * Funding and contracts
    • Being discussed
    • TREvolution and TETREs have a much more defined fit now though still being discussed
      • Does TETREs still need it's own branding? Useful if it's giving out a "stamp of approval"
  • Need to start using realistic data
    • Realistic looking project names (so IG will understand in a demo)
    • Realistic data
  • Deployment/site updates
    • Luis was planning to look an example data
  • TREv in-person experiment ideas
    • Director WFS - ready for play
      • Early access to be shared privately
    • Director MESH (prototype) - ready for play
    • Director Airlock - coming soon for testing
    • Swansea met with UWE to integrate SACRO Viewer using REST API
    • Director Governance and Mesh already earmarked for deployments
  • TETREs updates
  • Start thinking about long-term TETREs plan
