Towards Second Year

• EMI Kebnekaise release drives NA2 activities– Dissemination turns from preparation to promotion

of EMI 1 • 2nd EMI TC, OGF3x, SC’11, ISC’11, CHEP 2012

– Training focused on exploitation of whole EMI software stack

• DCISS, webinars (in/out reach)

– EMI 1 availability will foster new collaborations – Users’ feedback will drive exploitation and

sustainability tasks • Identification of most critical products
